Windows 10: How to open surface 8- 2014 model

I can not open my surface 8 with the last password I used. I have tried 22 other possibilities and can not access my computer. Therefore can not use internet to ask questions on the Surface. Now what?

Problem updating Windows Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 feature updates

Hi,

I have manage to install image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...erecoveryimage and download a recovery image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

What I did to reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive was:
Step 1: Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power
button for 30 seconds).
Step 2: Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.
Step 3: Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the
power button on your Surface.
Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.
Step 5: When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.
Step 6: Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the
screen.
Step 7: Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This
refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
Step 8: Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.
Step 9: Choose Just remove my files.
Step 10: Select Reset.
Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process continues
(this can take a while).

This always fails and I have to do the below which continues installation.
Windows 10 Installation Media:

1. Insert the Media (DVD/USB) in your PC and restart.
2. Boot from the media.
3. Select Repair Your Computer.

Select Troubleshoot.

1. Choose Command Prompt from the menu:

Type in the command:
Diskpart
Type in the command:
List disk (Note which disk is your Boot drive number mine is 0)
Type in the command:
Sel disk 0
Type in the command:
List vol (Note which volume is the EFI partition mine is 4)
Type in the command:
Sel vol 4
Type in the command:
assign letter=V:
Type in the command:
Exit
Type in the command:
V:
After you have assigned a drive letter Using Diskpart You can format the EFI partition:
Example: if you assigned a letter V to the partition the command would be:
format V: /FS:FAT32
Type in the command:
bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI


Now I have an issue that I cannot install Feature Updates. They keep failing to install.
Any ideas how to resolve issue?

 

looking for apps which will sync between Surface and Win 8 phone

My suggestion is to use

OneNote with a notebook hosted on your FREE Skydrive storage. Super simple to setup, and both your surface and win phone will work great. By the way this is the default architecture for "My Rooms' in Win Phone. It posts a new notebook to your skydrive.
Then you can just go to your surface open up onenote and sync your notebooks with skydrive.



Good luck.

 

QB Pro 2014 opening in windows 10

Hi Debsy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Please answer the below question to understand the situation better.

Do you get any error message?

I understand that the problem is when you use the QuickBooks pro 2014 after the update.

Follow the steps in the below link:
