Did anybody try to load and use 2020 Design V9 on Microsoft Surface Pro 3?

Anyone try V10.5 on Surface Pro 3?  It would be so great to have a formal answer.  I heard that V10.5 would work but 2020 wouldn’t support.

We are currently not support the Surface Pro with 9.1 or V10.X. This is of course, for the moment. We are however testing in this environment and have found some compatibility issues due to screen size, use of the stylus and touch screen. Other compatibility issues are linked to the OS Environment (Windows 8.1).

Thanks Roberto …. so looking forward to when it all works!

Any progress on this?

Hi Tom,

Surfaces of any kind are still not completely compatible for the reasons stated above.

Thank you

Neil

What Neil said. We have a problem with our Surface Pro 4 machines which Microsoft seem to have problems solving – with a mouse plugged in, the cursor can ‘wander’ randomly. If we switch the touchscreen off, this issue goes away.

Good machines but I’m sticking to equivalent spec machines from HP/Lenovo or whoever from now on.

We also sent a Surface Pro i7 8GB back for repair and they gave us an i5 4GB back and we are still trying to get them to sort it out as is wasn’t noticed immediately.

In short – avoid Microsoft machines!
