This was the most comprehensive but simple video that helped me to fix my daughter’s pc. Thank you so much.
You're welcome!!
Oh my gosh. I have a Surface RT 2 that I got for Christmas and it all of a sudden just stopped working, I was so sad for weeks, and you really helped me fix my issue. Thank you sooo much!
Ohh glad it helped!!
You are awesome, the instruction is simply by far the best one and easy to follow. Got my S4 up and running within a few hours. Thank you Sir!
Great to hear!
Thank you for this video!
It just saved me a great deal of trouble.
Microsoft has this content on their support page but you did a better job of illustrating the steps and the process. Thanks so much.
Aww thank you!!
Thanks for the detailed step by step instructions. Was very helpful to me.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this! It's been a minute since I'd done a factory reset on my Surface Pro 3, and I don't know if something changed in the recovery menu options or something, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't able to get my machine to use the USB recovery drive I'd created.
But your walkthrough helped sort it all out! Successfully doing the bare metal recovery -- as opposed to relying on the cloud recovery I had done in defeat, but that made me itchy because I'd never done it and prefer the recovery drive creation and booting into it method. THANK YOU!
It did change from Pro 3 to Pro 4 :)really glad it helped!
Wow! This video really helped out alot!! I was trying to restore my SP7 for hours until I came upon your video. Straight to the point and easy to follow. THANK YOU!!
You're welcome!

Yayyy, I’m happy it helped
That video was very helpful as all the other videos on the net were pointing out to the same options repeatedly.

Fantabulous video. It took some time but this worked on my Surface Pro 7
Great to hear!
Very well explained!! And worked perfectly> Thanks
Aww thank you for the kind words!
yooooooo you saved my expensive surface laptop 3. I am forever grateful!
Aww you’re welcome!!
Wow!
After 3 years of searching and trying everything!
I have finally been able to clean my table with the help of your tutorial.
On this Surface book 2, the soft restart/reboot always came up in the UEFI screen. Had to choose "Boot Configuration" button on left. Then drag USB STORAGE option to top of list. Plug in USB drive into the Surface. Click "Exit" to restart computer. IT WORKED. I OWE YOU HUNDREDS!!! THANK YOU
Glad it helped!!
One of the best videos on this issue on this site. Thank you so much.
Thank you!!
I couldn't get into recovery mode by pressing and holding volume down and power button. Rather, I used the volume up and power button to get into a area where I could change the boot sequence and selected USB and instructed it to boot immediately (note I had my recovery USB drive plugged in). From there, I got to the "blue screen" and all went perfectly from there. Anyways, many thanks to this video for getting my Surface Pro 7+ up and running again!!!
PS - Guess I'll turn updates off since that's supposedly what caused mine to tank!
Yayyy! Glad it helped fix it!
Thank you man. Seriously, my surface didnt work for 2 and a half year. Thanks to you I got it working.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much! Very easy🙏
Glad it helped!
Brilliant!!! Thank you so much. I've lost the pin for my surface so no downloading. You're a life ..uh..PC saver :-)
Glad I could help!

Thank you for the tutorial video, really helped me reinstalling my surface pro 8. And, unless your device is bricked, you can use recovery options then advanced startup option in w11, so you don't have to press volume and power button👍
You're welcome!
Great 👍 Thank you for sharing this video.
You’re welcome!!
Wow. Thankyou Very Much. I was so scared even though I read the official sites. 🙏🏻💖
You're welcome 😊
Excellent... cheers mate!
Thank you!
Thanks from France 👍
Thank you! Followed to the t and got the laptop out of the massive coma! 🎉
Works perfectly, thanks.
I didn’t have to use windows to format the USB, MAC and fat32 works just as good.
Thank you for your help, i was able to fix my surface go 3 , thanks a lot 😊🎉
Really happy that it helped!
Thank you. Very very helpful.
Welcome!
I thought I'd pitch in for some additional support (As Microsoft did not cover this in their guide).
For anyone who might be getting the issue.
"There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made."
Please make sure that in your BIOS that you have the correct settings. it should look like this:
Internal Storage - (active)
USB Storage - (active)
PXE Network - (active)
((Advanced options))
Enable alternative boot sequence - (on)
Enable IPv6 from PXE Network boot option - (on)
Enable Boot from USB devices - (on)
Enable Boot Configuration Lock - (OFF) = Having this on is the reason most are getting this issue, so turning this off should work
Automatic power-on after power loss - (off)
Also thank you @AldoJames for the very informative video!
Thank you!
YOU ARE A HERO!!!
Worked perfect. Thanks.
You're welcome!

This worked for me! If you plug in the USB and the recovery isnt popping up, make sure USB is in FAT32. I had to reformat my USB for this to work.

Welcome :)
So if I have the box "back up system files to recovery drive" checked will that save everything from my computer for the recovery drive? Or will I need to use another means to back my files up. I just want to be sure before I potentially delete everything. Very helpful video, I am just new to this. Thank you!
Greatly explained too.
Glad it was helpful!
@@AldoJames I too made the similar video in my channel. I am glad to find you already this video published.
Thanks man :)
Welcome :)
dangg went to best buy got a thumb drive, and in no time i was back into my surface pro x thank u
Thank you for thoroughly explaining the this process . I am eager to try this process however my sp7 screen is messed up and i am not able to see anything, prior to me wanting to reset I was using my tv as a monitor via HDMI. I was planning to fix screen Once I could afford to replace screen. Unfortunately, for whatever reason my sp7 won't project to my tv until windows has loaded and right know my sp7 will not get passed blue screen hence why I am wanting to reset my sp7. Do you know a work around that will enable to cast blue screen to an external monitor? Please advise..
amazing...still valid solution today...
Thank you
Thanks a lot u saved my life
