    SKIP the prompt for the bitlocker key. Full instructions below..

    Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surfacerecoveryimage   (with a

    different Windows computer if yours is not working properly)  and download a

    recovery image for your Surface. You will need a 16GB USB stick formatted FAT32

    (use a Windows computer). Use FULL format and not quick format. Give the volume

    a name like surfboot.

    Unzip/extract the recovery zip to the formatted USB stick and then-

    To reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive:

    Step 1:    Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power

    button for 30 seconds).

    Step 2:     Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.

    Step 3:    Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the

    power button on your Surface.

    Step 4:     When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.

    Step 5:    When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.

    Step 6:     Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.

    If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of

    the screen.

    Step 7:     Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This

    refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.

    Step 8:    Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.

    Step 9:     Choose Just remove my files.

    Step 10:    Select Reset.

    Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process

    continues (this can take a while).
