I have also searched for more proper drivers for the internal devices, but this solved nothing. After reinstalling and downloading all available Windows updates, the device is still extremely slow, and the Graphics card in the base isn't even detected. So then I reassembled the surface, and did a full reset/reinstall of the device. The keyboard base still has its 2nd battery in it - it too wont charge, but its not swollen so I keep it in there for now. So I took the thing apart and removed the battery in the 'tablet-part-unit' - this took a lot of time (because the device is very much glued together - iFixit gives it only 1 out of 10 on the repairability scale, but I eventually succeeded in removing the battery, and I have stored it in my charcoal grill outside, just in case it should burst out in flames suddenly, until I get time to deliver it for recycling. So I searched online, including on this site, and from all indications I should be able to run the Surface effectively as a stationary PC, with somewhat full functionality and performance. Now this week I got scared of the fire-hazard of the battery, and at the same time got curious if I still could get some decent computing out of the Surface while having it plugged in, if I just removed the swollen battery without installing a new one. Unfortunately it got the swollen battery issue which is common for these devices, so when the screen started to come unglued from the frame because of a bulging battery, I shut it down permanently, and purchased a Dell XPS 17 instead for my main laptop workstation, and since then I have left the Surface alone for a few months. So I have a Microsoft Surface Book 2 which still today has reasonable specs (8th gen i7 CPU, Nvidea GTX 1050 graphics card, and 16 GB memory), although it is above 3 years old.
