    Umm… hi. Just curious. I tried it until the troubleshoot part, but it gave me different options. They are start-up settings and UEFI firmware settings. The device is extremely similar, too. Does this step affect the process of factory resetting the PC?

    Hi Eric, I need a bit more help
    Please. Once I click on ‘Remove Everything’ my pro goes to a page saying Cloud download or Local Reinstall and whichever one I click on takes me back to first screen (Troubleshoot screen) any help will be appreciated.

    Well i tried everything in the video but iam not able to even install from a my usb boot drive. The error that I get from the boot drive is that the Windows 10 that I have is not compatible. I will now have to get the Windows Home 32 bit and to try again.
    Also since I bought this Surface on a garage sale it seems to have belong to some company of which I appears that they have put a lock in the hard drive to prevent tampering . Maybe I should look into replacing the hard drive and start from scratch.

    • @chrisray929
      @chrisray929 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on what you mean by blocked.... if you can do a clean install (method 2) then they havent locked the drive or bios and after the reset you're good. If they have a lo-jack installed on it (like Absolute or such) that is a completely different thing.... if they know you have the device, and it's not just "lost" or something, they would probably release it for you. They have to pay for a subscription, per device, to use such a service.
