Another kicker, I was able to bring the trouble unit back to the factory image using the recovery USB media created earlier. Update: I found this article, that is basically pointing out the same problem, sadly no solution though. Has anyone run into or seen anything this before? trying a new USB stick had no change as well. Other than that, I cannot figure out a reason as to why this is happening.

#SURFACE PRO 3 WINDOWS7 DRIVERS#

Being it's a hard drive, the storage drivers should be the same for boot image being the chipset is the same, and vendor should not matter being the same sata protocol. From what we have seen, the majority of the surface units have a Samsung SSD, whereas the RMA units have a Hynix based SSD built in.

The one thing that does stick out, is the internal hard drive vendor. I left one of the RMA'd devices stock, joined the domain, loaded client, added to a collection and pushed the task sequence for testing/troubleshooting, and I took another Surface we've had on hand for a while, and ran the offline USB image through n through with no issues. This problem remains true if I attempt to image via Offline media, with RMA units only. SP3 starts and loads files to boot into WinPEДЇormat and Partition Disk (UEFI) - Hangs and eventually fails out stating that it cannot format the disk (log file attached). Secure Erase SSD (via surface data eraser tool provided by MS) Model: 256GB Surface Pro 3 back from service Note: There have been 0 changes to the Task sequence for sometime, and we are able to image new units. We recently however had to warranty a few surface pro 3 devices for our users, and we are having alot of trouble getting these to format correctly, before failing the task sequence.

Keep in mind that you canвЂ™t go back to Windows 10 S once you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro without using a recovery image - which actually isnвЂ™t available just yet. On the Surface Laptop, this process should take around 2-4 minutes. Once you hit вЂњYes, letвЂ™s go,вЂќ the Windows Store will start upgrading you to Windows 10 Pro. YouвЂ™ll be asked whether youвЂ™ve saved all of your files after that - so make sure to save all of your files that are currently open. Once the Windows Store opens up, click on the вЂњFreeвЂќ button and itвЂ™ll start the upgrade process.

You can upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free on the Surface Laptop until later this year, and after that youвЂ™ll have to pay $49.99 to upgrade. You may still want to upgrade the Surface Laptop to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 10 S, and Microsoft makes that a breeze.

The companyвЂ™s latest Surface comes with Windows 10 S, a new version of Windows 10 that only lets you download apps and games from the Windows Store.

Microsoft is shipping the new Surface Laptop in 20 countries today.
