The new Surface Laptop 3 is better than its predecessors, especially the new long-awaited USB Type-C port. It’s twice as fast as previous generations with the new 10th Gen Intel Ice Lake processors on the 13.5-inch model. On top of that, it also comes with a new fast-charging feature, a 20% larger trackpad, dual far-field studio mics, and an improved Windows Hello camera.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is also easy to troubleshoot and get support. It comes with a recovery partition, which allows you to reset your Surface back to factory settings whenever you want. However, you can use a USB recovery drive instead if you can’t reset your Surface Laptop 3 with the existing recovery partition or it has been deleted. On the other hand, to create a recovery drive, you must have the official recovery image specifically for your specific Surface Laptop 3 model.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to download the latest official recovery image for your Surface Laptop 3.
