**some notes from Powershell setup and connectivity**
Everything I read assumes you're in front of the actual server. Is there anything like an RSAT module I can install on my client PC?

PowerShell REMOTELY (not directly on the server)
On the SharePoint Servers:

PowerShell and the Client Object Model to write code against SharePoint Online. It can be a little intimidating at first, given the complexity of the work required.
SharePoint Patterns and Practices (PnP) contains a library of PowerShell commands (PnP PowerShell) that allows you to perform complex provisioning and artifact management actions towards SharePoint. The commands use CSOM and can work against both SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premises. The advantage is code you have written can be simply replaced with one single commandlet.

Boost Surface Book/ Pro Wi-Fi connectivity
The first thing you have to do is to open the registry as an administrator, simply type regedit in the taskbar search box, and hit Enter.
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\mrvlpcie8897
Find the item labeled “TXAMSDU”. Double tap and modify the value from 1 to 0.
Restart your Windows 10 PC to complete the workaround.
If everything works as expected, your slow connectivity should be resolved and you should now see an improved wireless connection.

Easily Access the Classic Personalization Window
By default, when you right-click on the Windows 10 desktop and select Personalize, you are taken to the new Personalization section in PC Settings. However, the Personalization window from Windows 7 is still available in the Control Panel. You can add a shortcut to the desktop so you can quickly access the classic Personalization window if you prefer it.
Right-click on the desktop and select New > Folder from the popup menu.
Copy and paste the following text into the name of the folder and press Enter.
Personalization.{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921}
The icon changes to the personalization icon and the name of the folder also changes to Personalization. Double-click this icon to access the classic Personalization window in the Control Panel.

We have 3 options to run a program as Admin in Windows:
1) Shift Right Click , then run as admin
2) Shortcut –> Properties –> Advanced –> check “Run as Admin” check box
3) Default all apps to runas admin: Using UAC, we then can disable UAC thereby all apps run as Admin via reduced rights. This is OK for home use but prob. not corp use due to security and policies. If your home environment is secure via router / firewalls and a solid antivirus on the machine consider allow all APPS to runas Admin, this reduces the manual intervention on every app start, see below procedure
3.a
Danger! See here more info
Run gpedit.msc to open the Local Group Policy Editor. Expand Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, and Security Options. Four settings need to be updated:

Click OK And OK
2 - Disable Approval Mode
Log In As Administrator
Go To Run ( WinKey + R )
Type "secpol.msc"
Go To Local Polices > Security Options
Find "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation"
Open It Click Disable It And Click Ok.
Restart Computer( Very Important Log Off Doesn't Work )
Now Every App Will Be Run As Administrator In All Administrator Users
See below reg file, use when font on UI is too small to read even though DPI is at normal level (100% or 125%)
1) Tell windows to prefer an external manifest file
