Install Windows 10 from scratch on surface pro

Question

I accidentally cleaned everything on Surface Pro.

Now, I want to install Windows 10 on my surface, using the USB drive I bought. I can install it, however, when entering the system, the touch screen/keyboard are not working. It seems nothing is working...

What should I do with this? Thank you.

Answer 1

You will need some additional hardware:

• USB drive (I think 8GB is enough, but to be safe - 16GB)
• USB Hub
• Keyboard and Mouse
• Microsoft ISO for re-installing Surface

You get the ISO for re-installing surface directly from Microsoft, and they also provide full instruction here.

I'm sorry but I don't remember the exact steps as I done this only once and it was a bit of trial and error, but in general:

• Burn MS Recovery ISO into the USB (I use Yumi)
• Connect your USB Hub to the only USB port, and connect your keyboard and mouse to the hub, and also the USB that has your recovery image.
• Boot menu (volume down + power) and choose boot from USB
