I just upgraded from a Surface Pro 2 to a Surface Pro 6. I notice the chargers a little different, but not much. Can I use my old chargers on my new Surface?
Hi Roberta, you can’t use Surface Pro 2 charger to charge your Surface Pro 6. Both devices use different charging interface. There are 2 generations:
1. First-Gen: Supports Surface RT, Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2.
2. Sencond-Gen: Supports Surface Pro 3-6, Surface Laptop 1-2, Surface Book 1-2.
Is there a way to hook up 3 external monitors and my Surface Pro at the same time? I currently use the Microsoft Surface Dock and it allows 2 external monitors, I can hook a 3rd monitor directly to the mini-port, but I lose the capability of having my Surface as a display. ( I use it for staging some of my running apps)
