Bro I searched for hours trying to find a video that could help me boot from the UEFI after the drive was wiped and this is the only video that explained it properly. I appreciate ya. Like + Subscribe
Just go to the link in the description, and download the USB recovery and follow the steps on that page. I just saved you 19 annoying minutes. But seriously, thank you for the video.
Thank you so much! I have been searching for a video for a very long time since I screwed up my surface. This video helped so much better than Microsoft support website. I keep coming back to you guys if I screw up another computer.
my device in bit locked and I do not know its password and I have also forgotten my Microsoft ID and password. and when i try to factory reset it its shows cant be reset because drive is bit locked. so please provide me the solution as soon as possible.
Thanks for this video, it is really helpful, I just have one question for you. You said you got a zip file and just transfered the files to the fat32 formated usb stick, does that means that you extracted the files from the zip to the usb stick? Thanks again!
Hello.. will it work on a bitlocked device. (OS drive is bitlocked)???? I bought it from ebay. And.. I am stuck at the bootpage asking for bitlocker key, which I don't have.
I had to pause my fixing to go out to dinner and I left the thing on after I put in the drive with all the boot stuff from the website, I’m gonna continue watching later, for people who have allready, do I have to buy a new copy of windows or somthing?
My USB doesn't have the option for FAT32 but does have exFAT, which is superior. However, when I insert the USB (file is unzipped into USB correctly), it goes back to the UEFI settings instead of the blue recovery screen. Is this because it's exFAT or am I doing something else wrong? You'd think exFAT would work as well..
Mine has an admin password in the bios now i can't access it. Help?? I got the proper usb for surface 3 but it is not reading it. Crazy......I was just going to say it wasn't working, cause I already booted up and got to bios screen again, but then suddenly it loaded from the USB. Unbeleivable and ironic. The funny thing is I was really confused because a previously usb surface 3 installation stick wasn't working. Turns out it was corrupted!!
I have a surface 3 that gets the bios blocked, it asks me for a password, I did this option to recover my system but only the function of downloading from the cloud appears and if I accept that, nothing happens, it returns to the first page, I don't know what to do. help!
Hey, my surface 3 about 6 months from i got it i turned it on and the screen went red and only said surface. From then it's just stuck there and i cant get past it. I can get into the bios menu i tried using the usb recovery but it's just stuck in the red screen
Question. Is this just an os recovery image or did it reset the firmware? I’m having an issue after a failed install of linux on pro 3, and it won’t boot from usb so I could fix it.
hey I have a quick question .if I have my recovery image on my SD 64 G. could I put that in my LG phone and connect the.two then try to power up . this sucks . I have had surface for 2 yrs and my warranty expired. ..anyone
it's funny how the insturction from the official site is asking us to make the bootable repair usb drive first from another windows 10 machine before copying and paste the recovery img into the usb. And worst of all that got me stuck on 94% preparing my device, like actually stuck, the loopy thinge wasn't moving, and after waiting for hrs I restarted then it gives me a fail to install error and asking me to retry again (after 3 hrs..). Just gonna try your way and see if it works this time :)
So there is no other way around this beyond an OS re-load? I just put a salesperson in one of these and I only see him once a year. He called with this problem today.
i have a 16 gb flash drive.. when i go to put the file on the drivbe it says not enough room? do i have to extract any files before transferring them to the flash drive?
after i transfer the files on my flashdrive and put it on the device. after some loading on start up then the screen will go blank again. the device is still on
how did you manage to put the system image onto the pen drive, because when i try it, it say that the file is larger than 4gb and cant be transfer into the pen drive?
Can’t understand what you’re saying, the music is too loud it drowns out your voice! But sounds like this is just what I need. Please can you do another video without the music ?
Great video, my problem is a surface 3 that when it was in sleep mode the battery ran low and cannot get back to my account. Is there any way to get back to my flies and accounts with out wiping it. Derek Parish
I downloaded their recovery image from the site. Surface 3 loops in the American Megatrends bios and the USB doesn't do anything. Keeps looping in bios. What to do?
Good stuff! I fixed my surface pro 3 with this helpful video. I erased a partition and windows couldn't boot up. Many videos online but nothing works till now... What about a video about downloading Zorin Os to a surface pro 3? It is possible?
i installed windows on my 64gb usb stick and my surface didnt start the uefi bios it goes directly to the Windows menu set up. finally if i choose to reinstall windows it says that it is not possible
Try to boot from the USB if that doesn't work, You will have to follow other steps then you could follow up with this this video.. I haven't made the video but i will send you a link how to do it. I had the same issue on this surface.
You definitely do not need that music in background. Video is good.
+Sergej Grabun Lol. Next time I won't but thanks a lot!
I Agree, Helpful Videos Like This Background Music Doesn't go.
I thought I was playing music from another device or app lol
Yeah, music is drowning your voice-over.

+Daymeion Hughes thank you very much! I completely understand I was in the position but I did my own research and found the solution! Thanks a lot!
THE CELLPHONE FIX would i need a keyboard for the surface to do it?

WHAT?!?! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE MUSIC?!?
Turn off your music
Just go to the link in the description, and download the USB recovery and follow the steps on that page. I just saved you 19 annoying minutes.
But seriously, thank you for the video.
Your video is the only way I was able to get past the bios screen on the internet. Thank you so very much

Dude trash the music in the background.... makes it hard to listen to what you are saying
I'm sorry for the music.
Huge thanks, mate. Precisely what I needed.
+Wild Affair you are very welcome!
+Wild Affair any other suggestions for a video?
Thanks!
The background music is very distracting. I'd like the music to be about 1/2 of the current volume and not increase and decrease. Great video.
2023 and this video is my savior.
Thank you so much!!! you saved me from spending money to fix it!!!
I'm glad it worked! Can you please subscribe and like. :)

THE CELLPHONE FIX
When I put the surface number in it say I need to have the administrative person to unlock it.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the information
Hope that this works. Ubuntu keeps randomly dropping the Wifi so I wanted to install Windows again. Here goes nothing! Will edit if it works.
+Julian Gonzalez yes this will work
FIXED!!!! YOU ROCK!
how do i make this usb bootable?
good video, but the music in the background drowned you out throughout the whole thing, it was sometimes hard to follow.
Where is the link for the Microsoft site?
I downloaded their recovery image from the site. Surface 3 loops in the American Megatrends bios and the USB doesn't do anything. Keeps looping in bios. What to do?
i got the same issue - everyone keeps showing the same thing. I cant get the keyboard up either. Just same damn UEFI screen every damn time
Your hands look very soft and fluffy
Thank you lol
Why would you put music man?
Yes turn off the music and this is a good video.
Good stuff! I fixed my surface pro 3 with this helpful video. I erased a partition and windows couldn't boot up. Many videos online but nothing works till now...
What about a video about downloading Zorin Os to a surface pro 3? It is possible?
Didnt work 4 me 😑... i think the ssd is dead...
How can i contact with you please ?
What's up with the music ? Can you go back to the video en edit the music background. Again removing the music is too loud
digging the santa hat
+Nic Street thanks a lot lol
Thx dude it worked
Awesome thank you so much!!
bro . turn the music down. por favor
kept saying that there was a problem recovering your pc
Sujan Adhikari same
@@josh256m8 same herre - now its stuck on UEFI and wont do anything else
Downloaded both Win 10 & 8.1 and both seem to be corrupted. install3.swm which is part of the image keeps failing
how do you remove the administrator password?
my surface pro 3 cant find my usb whats wrong :(
+Kenny Do what have you tried do far?
i installed windows on my 64gb usb stick and my surface didnt start the uefi bios
it goes directly to the Windows menu set up. finally if i choose to reinstall windows it says that it is not possible
Kenny Do have you tried wiping your usb drive with fat32 ? It may help if you haven't
Thank you so, so, so much!
Muito obrigado. Thank you.
DOES NOT WORK. ANYONE CAN HELP ME?
it will delete all my files in my surface pro??
Joanna Kaila Lupango yes unfortunately
Worked like a charm
My USB 8 gb can that be the problem?
+anar agayev I highly recommend to get a 16gb to make sure but you could try a 8GB USB.
Try to boot from the USB if that doesn't work, You will have to follow other steps then you could follow up with this this video.. I haven't made the video but i will send you a link how to do it. I had the same issue on this surface.
THE CELLPHONE FIX ok I'll try, I appreciate it man
you don't have to make the usb bootable?
+Stephen Flint yes that's correct, just add the files
Do you need microsoft keyboard to recover the surface?
+ruszel edmark jimenez I think you will be able to use a USB keyboard
