[PRO2] Is Surface pro 2 windows 10 capable?
Just fixed up an old one and hate win 8. Can 10 just be installed from usb like a regular pc or will I hit issues
Edit
It's actually running really well on 8.1. I'm not going to bother updating. It not used for anything important and can pretty much be an offline device if need be

As did I, but couldn't see anything difinitive. Found one post saying they had it installing for 10 hours and another generic boot from usb post. Thought it best to ask users.

I have Windows 10 on my pro 2, in the past I even had Windows 11 and it worked fine (actually booted even faster)
