Reinstall Surface Pro 6 - Restore Windows 10

The Surface Pro 6, like all other devices from Microsoft, runs the Windows 10 operating system. This has the advantage that you can also use all PC functions on your tablet. You can also reinstall Windows 10. This is usually worthwhile after an update.

This is how to reinstall the operating system

To reinstall the operating system, you need a bootable USB stick. You cannot use a DVD, as the tablet does not have a ROM drive.

1. The first thing you need to do is download the "Media Creation Tool". This can be found on the appropriate Microsoft page.
2. Connect a USB stick to your PC that has at least 8 GB of storage capacity and start the tool. Follow the instructions and create a bootable USB stick that hosts Windows 10.
3. Once the USB stick is created, shut down your Surface tablet and insert the USB stick.
4. Now press the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time, and then just hold down the Volume Down button until the word "Surface" appears on the screen.
5. Select "Use a device" and then select your USB stick.
6. You can also navigate to Settings in Windows 10 and then to "Update and Security". Hier können Sie die Wiederherstellung aufrufen und unter „Erweiterter Start“ auf „Jetzt neu starten“ klicken. Wählen Sie „Ein Gerät verwenden“ und dann Ihren USB Stick.
