  3. Confirm your selections including the device model, Windows build, Office build (if applicable), and language pack.

  4. Under USB Key Selection, choose the USB to use for the recovery image. Make sure the USB drive you intend to use is correctly identified and ready to be formatted.

Throughout the process, ensure you have a stable internet connection for the download and that no data you wish to keep is on the USB drive when formatted during the process.

  2. Insert the bootable USB drive into the USB port on your Surface device.
  3. Press and hold the Volume-down button on the device.
  4. While holding the Volume-down button, press and release the Power button. The Microsoft or Surface logo appears on your screen.
  5. Continue to hold the Volume-down button until you see spinning dots beneath the logo.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to boot from your USB drive.
