Windows 10: Move all windows environment to replacement device

Hi,

I'm about to turn in my Surface Pro 4 which suffers from the infamous flickerGate issue. From what I understand, a refurbished device will be given to be as replacement.


I am not sure of what to do in order to maintain my programs, files and preferences on the "new" device so as to maintain a seamless transition.

Is this handled by Microsoft?

Please advise

:)

System environment variable won't stick


Running Win10 Home on an Acer Spin 3, 64bit, i7cpu. I try to add a path to the system environment variables by:

1. Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Environment variables

2. The "Environment Variables" window opens.
3. In the "System Variables" pane I select "Path" and click the EDIT button.
4. A list of the current system paths is displayed.
5. I click the NEW button, browse to the path I want to add which is "C:\Python36-32" and click OK. The path "C:\Python36-32" is added to the list of current system paths.
6. I click OK and am returned to the "Environment Variables" window.
7. I click the "X" at the top right to close the "Environment Variables" window.

Now if I click the "Environment Variables" button again (end of step-1) and repeat steps 2-4, the new path I added in step-5 is gone. IOW, adding a new path won't stick.

What am I doing wrong?
