A few people came up to me beforehand to say they were interested in the topic, and a few more spoke to me afterwards to ask if I would blog. I had planned to write a post anyway, but when you know it’s something people want to read you get a bit more of a push.</p>https://rikhepworth.com/posts/miracast-with-surface-pro-windows-8-1-release-and-netgear-push2tv/Tue, 08 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://rikhepworth.com/posts/miracast-with-surface-pro-windows-8-1-release-and-netgear-push2tv/<p>One of the most useful features of Windows 8.1 for me is the native support for Miracast (which is compatible with Intel Widi) for connecting to a wireless projector or display. Being able to wander around with my tablet whilst speaking is really handy.</p>https://rikhepworth.com/posts/installing-net-3-5-onto-windows-8-and-8-1-using-dism/Sat, 31 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://rikhepworth.com/posts/installing-net-3-5-onto-windows-8-and-8-1-using-dism/<p>This is one of those posts to save me searching the web <em>every</em> time I need to install .Net 3.5 on a Windows 8 (and now 8.1) system. If the automated installation via add/remove features fails then you need the correct DISM command.</p>https://rikhepworth.com/posts/editing-windows-server-2012-group-policies-for-direct-access-with-windows-8-1-enterprise-preview/Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://rikhepworth.com/posts/editing-windows-server-2012-group-policies-for-direct-access-with-windows-8-1-enterprise-preview/<p>I finally got time to upgrade my Surface Pro to Windows 8.1 Enterprise. One of the things I most want to test is DirectAccess, as I live and die by this on my main laptop. However, despite the computer object for my machine being in the group that the DA group policies are applied to, no DA settings appeared.</p>https://rikhepworth.com/posts/installing-windows-8-1-enterprise-on-surface-pro/Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://rikhepworth.com/posts/installing-windows-8-1-enterprise-on-surface-pro/<p>Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview was released a week or two ago. Being on holiday prevented me trying it out until I returned to the office. Everyone has different methods for installing Windows 8/8.1 on a Surface Pro. It’s actually pretty simple. Windows 8 can be done in the same way as I list here. However, you will need to download the Surface Pro Driver pack from Microsoft – Windows 8 doesn’t automatically find all the hardware; Windows 8.1 does.</p>
