If you have an issue with your Surface device or simply have a question, the best place to start is NOT Reddit.
No, the best place to start for any sort of issue with Surface hardware or software is… wait for it… Microsoft. Shocking, I know.
IN-PERSON SUPPORT
If you have one available, I strongly suggest going into a local Microsoft Store where you can get a Technical Advisor to speak to about your issue. Find your local Microsoft Store here:
