A:AnswerAndroid is compatible with Surface devices, we have an app that connects your phone to your PC: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/your-phone/9nmpj99vjbwv?activetab=pivot:overviewtab.
A:AnswerWhile this version of Surface Go is not compatible, Best Buy offers Surface Pro LTE Advanced that is compatible: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-surface-pro-lte-advanced-unlocked-12-3-touch-screen-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-fifth-generation-silver/6216320.p?skuId=6216320.
A:AnswerYes. Light gaming works well. League of Legends, Sims, Hearthstone will all run fairly well. But new FPS games like Apex Legends likely won't work particularly well.
A:AnswerSurface Go has a USB-C port that isn't compatible USB flash drives. To use USB flash drives with your Surface Go, we recommend using a USB-C-to-USB Adapter, which you can find here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-surface-usb-c-to-usb-adapter-black/6273110.p?skuId=6273110.
A:AnswerWhile almost any microSD card will work, I would recommend a Class 10 microSDXC card or better. Using such a card I've seen real (not synthetic) transfer rates of up to 60 MB/s but your rate will vary depending what other devices are in the transfer chain. This is still pretty good, and I have filled a 256 GB card in just over an hour. I use a 256 GB microSDXC card and have heard of people using 400 GB cards. I've also heard that the slot will accept a 1000 GB card (or more?). Caveat emptor.
I highly recommend the use of a microSDXC card as a supplement to the standard 128 GB SSD.
A:AnswerI have been told that the SD slot will accommodate up to a 1000 GB card. I have not verified that this is true. Remember that your results will depend on the capability of the card. Good luck!
A:AnswerBased on my experience with the 8/128 model and Lightroom, I can confirm that it will run, but isn't quite as smooth as you might want. Even if you've got the Performance slider turned all the way up, there's a bit of lag between the time you tweak a slider and when the changes are made to your image. If you want a better experience, you'd probably be better off with one of the Surface Pro models.
A:AnswerYes, you can. I have used this method to load a number of older programs that I have on DVD. You will probably need the USB-C adapter to connect the CD/DVD. I ordered mine direct from Microsoft but there are many third party available. The adapter is also useful for external hard disks, printers, etc. Note that you will probably have to upgrade (free) to Windows Home for the load to be successful.
