If you have Office 365 at work or personal and you use the 365 services on the web often you can input your credentials in Windows 10 and have Windows sign you in automatically.
Here is how to:
Testing the Windows 10 Enterprise image from MSDN or VLSC?
If Your machine is not domain-joined or you do not have a KMS server, you can activate Your enterprise installation With a MAK-key. This is usually if you have a MSDN or VLSC account.
Activation it easy:<
Press:
Win key
Type:
CMD
Right Click on Command Promt and Select “Run As Administrator”
Then type:
slmgr.vbs /ipk <windows key>
Your machine is now activated and configured as a KMS (Key Management Service) host
Install correct Language:
For all MSDN & VLSC users out there, if you want to make use of Cortana remember to install US-English version or another supported language of Windows 10. If you do not do that, there is no way to enable Cortana at the moment.
Don’t change default language
Install in with default keyboard, language. Just leave everything to default.
Don’t log in with a Microsoft Account Yet
It seems that if you log in with your MSA/Azure AD account even on a supported language Cortana will be disabled because your Azure AD or MSA might have regional settings.
Choose “Join a domain”
Run Cortana
She will prompt you to log in with your Microsoft Account, that’s okay now
Activate Windows
Do it.
Connect your Microsoft Account
Then connect your MSA and log in/out
You can now use Cortana

This is a hands on test of the Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini
Product Link: http://www.actiontec.com/327.htmlIf you are looking for a way to wirelessly transfer the content of Your screen to “the big screen” there are 3 popular ways to do it.
- Apple TV
- Chromecast
- Miracast
Of the 3 Technologies above, Miracast is probably the dumbest Technology. Miracast is only a Wireless HDMI/VGA cable. It does what the HDMI/VGA cable is supposed to, transmit sound and image. If you compare it to Apple TV or Chromecast the Miracast will disapoint you since you MUST Connect it to a computer for it to do anything at all.
The Box
The Box feature all you need, the adapter itself can take Power from USB on the tv or from the wall socket.
Connecting the unit
There is also a HDMI extension cable if the dongle does not fit into the TV directly.
Here is a tip: Leave the metal band on the USB cable to avoid cable clutter!
A note on Power.
The unit require a larger powersupply like HDD’s so if Your TV has a HDD usb port it will supply the right amount of Power, plug it into any other port and it may start to reboot constantly. You may also Connect it to the wall socket.
Connect it to Windows 8
It’s fairly easy to Connect it using a Windows tablet, here on a Dell Venue Pro 8
Connect it to Windows Phone
Fairly easy aswell. Go to Settings->Project my screen->Click Your adapter.
An other tip: Rotate the phone to landscape in order to watch a Movie from Youtube or to present a PowerPoint presentation.
Microsoft Recently Launched its own Miracast Dongle: http://winsupersite.com/mobile/microsoft-wireless-display-adapter-first-impressions?r

If you have a small Device you would want to use the Modern UI because it support touch inputs better.
Here is how you switch between the modern and desktop Version:
Open IE, click the Cog, Internet Options, Programs then uncheck the first checkbox below “Åpne Internet Explorer-fliser på skrivebordet” which translates into open Internet Explorer tiles on desktop.
Then hit the Windows Key and click the IE metro icon.
