  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Well, Surface Pro 3 is not really an laptop per se. Why so strict? lol – Adam Oct 16 '14 at 19:44
  • We don't like duplicate questions here, and the make/shape of your device doesn't matter in this case. When you tried the existing suggestions on the question I marked as a (possible) dupe, what were your results? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Oct 16 '14 at 20:07
  • Hum... Maybe ppl should think search terms less like creating a class and not duplicating them, i think its rather the opposite. As long as answer is meaningful it should be perfectly suitable. View counts tells everything – Adam Oct 16 '14 at 20:13
  • I'm not sure what you're driving at? There's nothing wrong with the answer given here, and it would be just as suitable if it was added to the question I marked as possible dupe... – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Oct 16 '14 at 20:37

Download the free app Splashtop on the surface and install the Splashtop streamer on your laptop.

Now you can connect to your surface.
