How to reset or factory restore Microsoft Surface device?

A Microsoft Surface device can get stuck, slow, or infected with malware. In such cases, the user may need to reset or factory restore the device. This process erases all of the data and settings on the device and renews its software, so it's essential to do it only when there's no other way to fix the issue. Here are the most common and recommended ways to reset or factory restore a Microsoft Surface device: 1. **Use the Reset button**: This method is the simplest and most direct way to reset your Surface device. The reset button is located on the back of the device, next to the charging port. Press and hold the button for 30 seconds until the device restarts. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to set the device back to its factory settings. 2. **Use the Surface Reset app**: The Surface Reset app is a dedicated software tool that allows you to reset your Surface device to its factory settings. It provides additional options and advanced settings, such as erasing all of the data without wiping out the operating system. To access the Surface Reset app, open the Start menu, search for "Reset Surface," and click on it. 3. **Use Windows 10 recovery image**: If your Surface device has a NVMe SSD, you can use Windows 10 recovery image to reset the device. Windows recovery image is a disk image file containing the Windows 10 operating system, drivers, and other essential files. You'll need to create a recovery image on another PC before using it to restore your Surface device. To do so, go to the Surface Windows Image Creator Tool on another PC, download the Surface WinImage Tool, and follow the instructions to create a recovery image. Then, boot your Surface device from a USB flash drive with the recovery image file, and follow the on-screen prompts to restore the device. 4. **Use the Surface Keyboard and Touchpad Reset method**: This method is specifically designed for Surface laptops with built-in keyboards and touchpads. If your Surface device does not respond to the Surface Reset button or keyboard, you can try resetting it using a special key combination. Press the Volume Up key, Fn key, and Power key at the same time, and continue holding the keys for 30 seconds. Then, release the keys and wait for the device to restart. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the device back to its factory settings. It's essential to note that resetting or factory restoring a Microsoft Surface device will erase all of the data and settings, including your personal files, apps, and settings. It's recommended to make a backup of your essential data before resetting the device. Additionally, make sure to reset the device to its factory settings only when there's no other way to fix the issue, as it will take a good amount of time during the reset process.
