12/8/2023 0 Comments Surface 1724![]() ![]() Speak of which, I bought my SP4, with i5-6300U, 8GB memory, 256GB SSD, back in 2019 summer, used, for a fairly good price as a replacement for my old Lenovo S531, the owner of the troublesome HD8670M, because it had an i5-3337U with 10 GB of RAM which can never be fully used, and it was big and hea'vy!ĭuring the process of Windows gabage cleaning, I was copying back the documents and stuff I backed up, then all of a sudden, the screen flickered a tiny bit, I thought Windows being Windows, might be a software bug somewhere, and then it started flickering furiously after a little bit, then the whole image was distorted. Me being me, I test-ran the new OS for about 1 hr, getting familiar with the new features and UIs, and said that looks good enough, time to deleted the old Win10 image so I could have the 20~30 gigs of free space on the SSD back which I never really needed. ![]() What could be the worst situation, spent 8 hours trying to updrade the HD8670M GPU driver, Windows instantly crash, rinse and repeat, and came to the conclusion that only update with the GPU driver directly from the laptop manufacturer's website? Oh boy, as the wise man Illidian once said, was I not prepared. Even during the preparing stage I told a joke to myself that "I have a slight bad feeling about this" and laughed it off, downloaded it, spent time updating it. ![]() TL DR: you might irreversibly burn your SP4's flickergate affected screen because it was HOT.įor someone who claims to be "Tech Savvy" and the first group of people who jumped onto Win10 2015 Summer right away when it first came avaliable, I saw this very post, seems all performance and fun right? I immediately started preparing for it. Rather, if you have a Surface Pro 4, do NOT upgrade to Windows 11 right now, maybe ever. ![]()
