Hi, haven't posted on here in a long time but hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out.
I've got a Surface Pro 3, and it was great until a few weeks ago, now it is all bugged out and the type cover only works about 25% of the time, the drivers keep deleting themselves. I'm trying to put a fresh install of windows on here and for the life of me can't figure it out. It's like Microsoft made it impossible. When I try to go into settings and reset this PC, it says "Could no find the recovery environment"
I've created a recovery flash drive, but can't get it to do anything either. If Microsoft/industry is going to take away our disk drives and put windows onto a tablet, are they not going to give us a way to reset the device like Android/iOS. Are we expected to bring it into a repair shop? I've been building computers for over 10 years and want to smash this thing to bits as it's become a total POS and I can't even reset it.
Maybe I just need to buy a new copy of windows and a USB DVD drive....
Thanks in advance to any help I get here. I'm using Win 10 by the way.
