Hey, I was reading about driver extraction on the Surface SE and wanted to try it myself. I appreciate your download and the tutorial though. Id like to experiment a bit more for myself and learn about these as well. LTSC sounds good to me, but hell, even Pro runs very well on these devices. Lets see how server acts... ;D I start to like these "piece of plastics"
Had another one for the weekend. Installed Windows 11 Enterprise (22621) the official way and ran some benchmarks. [Celeron N4120 (4 Cores @ 1,1GHz) - full brightness - WiFi always on, all on battery] Furmark : Burn-in test (Battery at 53% - Runtime: 5 minutes - Battery discharged 2 %, to 51%) Average of 2 FPS on 1366x768 (0xMSAA) Device became handwarm around the intel chipset. CrystalDisk Mark : (Battery at 49% - Runtime: 3 minutes - Battery discharged 2 %, to 47%) Device stayed cool. Cinebench (R23): (Battery at 46% - Runtime : 10 minutes - Battery discharged 5%, to 41%) CPU Multicore : 1028 pts Device stayed cool. Unigene Heaven Benchmark: (Battery at 40% - Runtime : 4 minutes - Battery discharged 2%, to 38%) Score : 132 Device stayed cool/mildly warm around Intel chipset. Passmark 10.2 : (Battery at 27% - Runtime : approx. 10 minutes - Battery discharged 4%, to 23%) PASSMARK : 369 pts CPU Evaluation : 9141 pts 2D Tests : 66 pts 3D Tests : 249 pts DX9 (at around 8 fps) DX10 (at around 2 fps, 8x multisample) DX11 (at around 10 fps, 4x multisample) DX12 (at around 6 fps, 2x multisample) GPU compute tests ( RAM Tests : 924 pts Device mildly warm around intel chipset. GFXBench (incl. sync download): (Battery at 22% - Runtime : +10 minutes incl. clicking and selecting tests - Battery discharged 9%, to 13%) OpenGL: Most tests ran okay, but the app closed at 18% battery. DX11: Most tests ran okay at 18% battery and it discharged to 13% Device mildly warm around intel chipset. Youtube : 1080p60 - perfect, no frameloss 1440p60 - perfect, no frameloss 2160p60 - repetitive, minimal frameloss throughout the videos Device slightly handwarm.
I recently got one from MicroCenter. It was the older version with the N4020. The form factor is probably an Intel reference design as is seems almost identical to a few other N4020 based systems but lacking a micro SD slot and HDMI port. I didn’t bother trying to extract the existing drivers and just turned off secure boot and installed “Windows 11 Professionals Education” using a custom script and DISM. Installing the Surface app was useless for drivers as it just referred me to WU. On the plus side WU had all the drivers.
