The Surface Go is available now, so here's a list of four things we think you should take a look at after you've set up your new device for the first time and got it all up to date. See at Microsoft Take advantage of Office Mobile on Surface Go

It's a little-known fact that Microsoft has a free version of Office apps for devices that have a screen size of 10.1 inches or less. The Surface Go has a screen size of 10 inches, meaning it's eligible for the free version of Office known as Office Mobile. Microsoft keeps these apps well hidden on PCs, but they're still available if you look hard enough. To find them, click on the links below, and you'll be taken to the Microsoft Store where you can download them. They're free, lightweight versions of the full Office suite that costs money to use. Of course, if you already own an Office 365 subscription, you'd likely want to use the full suite. But, if you don't, you can take advantage of Office Mobile for free forever.

Surface Go is the first non-pro Surface to support Windows Hello facial recognition, and it works well. One thing I've noticed myself doing with the Surface Go since I got one is using it in orientations that aren't the standard landscape orientation. I often use it in portrait, too, since it's sized well enough that this use case is comfortable. The problem is unless you improve facial recognition in that orientation, Windows Hello has a hard time authenticating you when your device is turned sideways. To fix that problem, rescan your face a couple of times while holding the device in both portrait and landscape orientations. This will make Windows Hello much more accurate no matter how you're holding the device. Check out our how-to guide on scanning your face in with Windows Hello. Automatically turn on tablet mode
