As per my IT guy the recovery is encrypted with a Bitlocker key which I dont have nor do i know where to get it from. Please tell me what to do?

    Do you see this icon in the UEFI? It usually means the SSD has died. If you DON'T see this ico, try the recovery image https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surfacerecoveryimage

    I replied to you but never answered thats why I created another thread. I get the error message when I click recover button from “Recover from a drive” option. It says “there was a problem reseting your pc, no changes were.” When actually theres no reset button. It doesnt let me do a recovery drive and yes I do see the icon in the UEFI.
