Here’s how to reset your Surface:
1.Select Start > Settings > System > Recovery.
2.Next to Reset this PC, select Reset PC and choose an option:
•Keep my files—Reinstalls Windows 11 but keeps your personal files and any apps that came with your PC. This option removes changes you made to settings, as well as apps and drivers you installed.
•Remove everything—Reinstalls Windows 11 and any apps that came with your PC. This option removes personal files, changes you made to settings, and apps and drivers you installed.
If you recently upgraded to Windows 11 and it isn’t working for you, try going back. In most cases, you'll have 10 days to go back. This will keep your personal files, but it'll remove apps and drivers installed since upgrading, as well as any changes you made to settings.

1.Select Start > Settings > System > Recovery.
2.Next to Go back, select Go back. If you don't see this section, too much time has elapsed since you upgraded, and you can no longer go back.
