It’s that time of the year… and folks are busy buying Surface devices & Xbox consoles as gifts… usually on sale at various places.
One of the best purchases I ever make is the extended warranty from Microsoft for their hardware. Cracked displays from accidental drops, overheating, sticking/dysfunctional keys, hardware-based blue screens, spilt coffee on the keyboards… they’re all by this warranty.
IMPORTANT: YOU HAVE ONLY 45 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE DEVICE TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MICROSOFT.
The warranties are quite “liberal” in my experience. The terms and conditions are documented in the link below however it’s pretty simple: If you buy a device from Microsoft, you really should get the extended warranty to protect against any damage you might have and for the peace of mind.

The easiest way to get an extended warranty from Microsoft for any Surface or XBox that you’ve purchased in the last 45 days is through the Microsoft Store app on the device.
