How to Turn On a Microsoft Surface Device
Press the Power button until the Microsoft Surface device turns on. This should take only a few seconds. Nearly all Microsoft Surface devices have a power button along the display’s edge, on the upper or lower right-hand corner. The button looks and works like the Power button found on many smartphones. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop and Laptop Go are the exceptions. They have a power button on the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard.
Setting Up a Microsoft Surface Device
Windows setup will launch immediately if your Surface Device is new or was reset since the last time you turned it on. Here’s how to get through it. Tap Yes to continue. Next, you’ll be asked if you’d like to add a second keyboard layout. This is only necessary if you use different keyboards for different languages. Most people can tap Skip. You can always pair a Pen later. Tap Next to continue. Those setting up a Surface device from an organization should contact that organization’s IT department for further instructions. This feature, if supported, can be enabled later. You can change your Windows 10 privacy settings after the setup is complete. If it does appear, tap Got It to continue. Tap Accept to fully enable Cortana or Not Now to move past the feature. You can turn Cortana off (or on) after setup.
