    Thanks OP, can these be upgraded to Win 11?

      Can 100%

    • xoom on 17/01/2024 - 11:11

      While i dont doubt you can get win 11 on this there could still be a time where microsoft can block non supported hardware.

      • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 11:21

        i didnt do anything manual i think. it just prompt me do you want to upgrade - hmm or i was thinking different machine?? sorry i got this exact deal 8 ago + old brain

      • Mechz on 17/01/2024 - 11:22

        But they probably won't. You just miss out on the extra fancy features like explorer tabs and dark mode task manager.

        I am running Win11 on an SP3 for reference.

        • xoom on 17/01/2024 - 11:44

          Just saying whats possible. I don't have a crystal ball that can tell what microsoft will or won't do.

          • CyberMurning on 17/01/2024 - 12:28

            @xoom: agree but MS didnt even do anything for ppl pirating the whole windows since Win 3.11 :D
            just warning on the bottom thats it

            • xoom on 17/02/2024 - 17:44

              @CyberMurning: Looks like microsoft is starting to block it.

              https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2024/02/12/windows-11-microso…

              Nothing has changed in the July 2023 statement. Really old CPUs are no longer supported. Bob Pony has now found out why. The CPUs need an instruction that is “POPCNT” calls. Without this instruction (which in SSE4.2 or. SSE4a is included) Windows 11 can no longer boot. This includes the Windows 11 kernel or the USB XHCI driver.

            @xoom: There would be massive pushback for the e-waste that would create alone.

            • xoom on 17/01/2024 - 16:44

              @soymeat: You see what apple been doing with their stuff locking the parts out to their respective unit?

              Much the same only worst in apples case.

    • solacens on 17/01/2024 - 11:24

      I doubt there is TPM 2.0 in Surface Pro 5

      And I did some search

      • Wombat cave on 17/01/2024 - 11:32

        There are work arounds. Fairly easy to bypass.
        Probably get windows 11 on a 486.
        Just google it.

      • xoom on 17/01/2024 - 11:45

        Plenty of devices that dont comply with win 11 requirements yet you can install it. Well for now.

    • eggboi on 17/01/2024 - 11:45

      For anyone not wanting to use “workarounds” etc; the Surface Pro 5 (2017) is definitely not officially supported by Windows 11, and you will not get a prompt to upgrade. Windows 10 officially stops getting security updates late 2025.

          I get about 2 hours max from mine from the last deal. Battery health is all over the place and currently sitting at 63%.

          • bheart on 17/01/2024 - 16:35

            @boxall: Was yours a B-grade (less than 80%) or A-grade (80%+) when you purchased it?

            • boxall on 17/01/2024 - 16:36

              @bheart: A Grade was the only option and advertised as 80%+. Keyboard was a mess. They did look after me with a partial refund though.

              Use it a lot, but did wish there was more battery life.

              • kalakaar on 21/02/2024 - 22:50

    Does this come with a type cover or just a normal keyboard?

    • MattyAu on 17/01/2024 - 11:38

      I would assume with, per the post "Keyboards are used and will show some signs of wear or fraying."
      And seller notes on the eBay page:
      “Overall great condition with minor marks or scratches battery is tested to be minimum 80%. Includes keyboard - keyboard colours vary - condition may also so signs of use such as ware marks & fraying”

                  @CyberMurning: That's not what wireless displays do. Think of it as a long cable between your PC and the surface and used as another monitor.

                  You need windows remote desktop….or chrome remote desktop or a variety of other tools.

    For anyone using these permanently plugged into AC power, go into UEFI and enable “kiosk mode” under power settings. Babysits the battery between 45-55% charge so it won’t eventually swell and pop the case open lol.

    Good deal. But - This processors is a little weak IMHO. The next processor they used after this - i5-8250u is a quad core, and offer a significant performance boost over the 7300u, for not much extra $$. So I'd suggest getting one with that processor, if you want more grunt, especially if they cost only $20-40 more..
