  1. Performing a factory reset on a fixed Surface Book


    Hi,


    I've purchased a surface book with hardware issues. After fixing the issues I'm trying to perform a factory reset however it is requesting the recovery key. I do not own the original packaging so I don't have the windows key. Is there way to perform a factory reset without loosing the OS.


    Thanks,

    Robert

    :)
