[@ronyoung4093]

Yo Bro!!! Thanks so much for your expertise. I've been locked out for a year....,:( Just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing this valuable process. I am 59 years old and not too savvy with these computers. From a first nations friend in Canada

[@WorldofTech]

Glad I could help

[@riseup4473]

Is that last option, “Remove everything”, for if you set it up, but now want to return it?

[@MrWillBuisman]

Thank you. I tried to contact Microsoft to get some support. I just purchased a 7pro for my mother in law, After a few weeks of use, she got a virus, I try to reset to factory a few times and still have the dam virus. Hopefully your video will help me with the virus issue. Thank you again

[@sagel1]

hi quick question, i have got a refurbished (new state) surface pro 8 from microsoft - while going through the set up process i cant pick up my wifi (or any wifi network). My wifi is working fine on all other devices ex the sp8 - im tearing my hair out trying to work out why this is not happening ... any advice would be appreciated ! thank you in advance

[@sergheisafoskin]

thank You! You saved us!

[@mfs76]

Try this on my surface pro 1 and its work. Now I'm reset the PC since the screen keep blinking of green color and window start button didn't function. Hopefully it get well after the factory reset. Btw I'm choosing of keeping my PC option

[@sleepnclass]

This method didn't work for me at first because my computer kept booting to a blank desktop. Ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager option but instead use the videos method. That worked for me.

[@MrBoomer217]

When that screen shows my touch screen does not work also attached keyboard 😢

[@ibrahimnaveed1741]

My one is asking is coming up with a Tpm Ppi page and telling me press F1 to accept. My keyboard isn't working. What should I do?

[@dannygassaway8574]

Thank you! Bout lost my mind as it’s a nightmare to try to get in when you can’t remember anything.

[@kayleejewell3218]

When i click on trouble shot it doesn’t come up with those options

[@DayseanLewis]

It worked for me hold shift down touch then release shift.

[@christinasmith2737]

What if I don’t have the power button on the bottom of my screen? Can I do this another way?

[@dannyp.neufville2146]

I don't have a keyboard for my surface 8 pro so I did the onscreen key option. The issue with mine is that the system is not allowing my tab to reset using both reset options. It starts but always give a fail message. I have windows installation pen drive to reinstall windows but the tab isn't recognizing it as well, this is really frustrating at this point. Kindly provide some ideas if possible, thanks!

[@MD-dy9ui]

You ever figure it out? Having the same problem

[@wtftv8119]

I also Have this Problem

[@Amitkumar-pv9cs]

Option not showing

[@s.thabet]

is this option will remove windows?

[@Cristaljim1822]

I have trouble getting it to stay on after I restart it . It let's me choose the option to troubleshoot but my computer shuts down and brings me back to the home page. Any help ?

[@lyubomirchankov2865]

Same issue here. Did you find a solution?

[@TheCloud0626]

After I press reset PC, it says insert your windows installation or recovery media to continue?

[@impressionsprinting]

[@GraphicGrapa]

Thanks...

[@terryhaley9680]

I am getting a screen saying I need a recovery key to get started again

[@awakendgaming]

It’s not putting me in that blue menu for some reason

[@haysamany4921]

Not working when press shift on screen

[@mustec1]

[@towerkzar]

[@adthomp]

Mines asking for a stupid recovery key to reset so doesn’t work

[@am6xdqo]

[@praduman777]

Hi, my surface gets stuck everytime on reset this PC screen...I cannot select any option

[@lucasmosca616]

Same. It says free up memory and I have deleted everything. I just need a full reset!

[@morganvaughan01]

I am beautiful and I am beautiful! Thanks for coming to visit me at the park

[@MattRobloxYT1]

Is this a tablet or computer?

[@WorldofTech]

It’s a tablet/laptop combo computer. The thing is it doesn’t have usb a ports but does have usb c ports.

[@RobJPhillips]

While this is probably a good video for many people, somehow your video showed up under how to do a hard reset. Obviously this is not a hard reset video. It’s a soft reset. Do you plan on doing a hard reset video? Is there such thing on the surface. All I’ve seen is what you’ve shown, which is how to press the key is to get a reset. But people who are experiencing the momentary windows logo and going back to a black screen need some thing a little more hardware. A hard reset.

[@aaammm1888]

its not working for me

[@duendemaldito8339]
