All Surface devices come with a Windows recovery partition included information that allow you to refresh your device or restore your Surface to its factory state.
In case you have any problems with the Surface, you could use the "recovery options" menu command. But if you have a problem that prevents it Surface to boot, or if recovery has been removed from your Surface, then you can download the file “picture αποκατάστασης” που χρειάζεστε, από την επίσημη σελίδα της Microsoft, και να δημιουργήσετε μια USB μονάδα ανάκτησης για να εκκινήσετε τη συσκευή σας και από εκεί να αποκτήσετε πρόσβαση στα εργαλεία ανάκαμψης και στην επίλυση προβλημάτων του Surface σας.
Today we'll show you how to download a recovery image for your Surface, and how to create and use a USB recovery drive from downloading recovery image.
Caution! USB recovery drives are not the same for all models Surface. Use only the correct USB recovery drive for your specific Surface model.
You'll need:
- Download the recovery image files for your Surface model according to the example below
- At least one 8GB USB flash drive for Surface RT and Surface 2 models
- At least one 16GB USB flash drive for Surface Pro models
Instructions:
1 Go to the Microsoft Web site, and sign in with the Microsoft account you used to register your Sureface. (See picture below)
Click on: Download a recovery image for your Sureface
2. Select your registered Surface for which you want to download a recovery image and click "Continue". If you have not registered your Surface yet, then you can do so in this process. (See image below)
3 Click the "Download" button, click "Save" (the example is with IE, do the corresponding Save with your own Browser), and save the ZIP file (recovery image) on your desktop. NOTE: You are about to download a large file (approximately 6.21GB) which may take some time to complete.
4. Follow the steps on the screen below to create a recovery unit from the recovery image download. For those who have difficulty with the English language, we translate briefly:
Step 1: Put the appropriate USB into the usb port
Step 2: From your desktop click on "My Computer"
Step 3: Right click on the USB drive and select "Configuration"
Step 4: In the configuration window select as system files το “Fat32” και δώστε ένα όνομα στην Ετικέτα τόμου, όπως για παράδειγμα Recovery και πατήστε το πλήκτρο “Εκκίνηση”
Step 5: Click OK to erase all data which the USB might have
Step 6: Click OK when the configuration is complete
Step 7: Unzip the file you have already downloaded by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Unzip"
Step 8: Copy all the files you found after unpacking to the USB drive
5. Now you can use this USB recovery unit for your Surface to refresh it or restore it (See image below)
Good luck
