Windows 10: Reactivating Windows 10 Pro on a Surface Laptop after a recovery image reinstall

Hello,At work, I have a Surface Laptop 3 15" Ryzen 5 that was having some trouble with printing, network drives, general UI, etc. We tried a heap of troubleshooting however the user ended up needing another device on short notice as a workaround.I then went to reset the device ready for the next user and it got stuck during the reset process and when I finally restarted it after about a 1.5 days of being stuck, it would not boot into Windows. I created a recovery boot disk from Surface Recovery Image Download, and not seeing the problems previously saw.Unfortunately however, Windows 10 is no

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?

windows 10 recovery image for surface pro 3

hi,

I would like to know if I download one windows 10 recovery image for surface pro 3 by using one surface pro serial number only can I install that recovery image on multiple surface pro 3 and activate windows using different serial number? because we have
over 900 surface pro 3 in our company and we don't want to download recovery image for each surface pro individually due to time consume.

all of my surface pro3 don't have any image installed rn.

Thanks.
