The system image is an important file stored on a dedicated recovery partition to restore or reset your computer. The recovery image can be used as a restore point for your system. If your computer runs into problems like partition loss or system crash, the recovery image can help you revert the OS to its normal state.


More important thing is to make sure that the USB drive should be formatted to FAT32. When it comes to formatting a USB drive, the Windows Disk Management or Diskpart tool may be your first choice. However, both the two tools have limitations in formatting a USB drive larger than 32 GB.


To format the USB drive quickly and effectively, we highly recommend you use a professional disk management tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard. It is a multifunctional partition manager that can format a USB drive to FAT32/NTFS/exFAT/Ext/Linux Swap with a few clicks. Moreover, this tool boasts many other powerful features like converting NTFS to FAT32 without data loss, converting MBR to GPT, extending partition, measuring disk, etc.


Step 1. Launch the MiniTool program to enter its main interface, select the USB drive from the disk map and click on Format Partition from the left action panel. Also, you can right-click the USB drive and select Format.


Step 1. Make sure that your Surface is turned on and plugged in, and insert the USB drive into the ports before you start creating the Surface Pro recovery image. If possible, we recommend you use a USB 3.0 drive.


Step 4. Wait for the tool to detect your USB drive automatically. Once detected, select the USB drive and click on Next > Create. This process will copy many files/folders into the recovery drive, so you may need to wait for a while.


Once done, make sure you Safely eject the USB drive from the taskbar. Then you can boot your Surface from the USB recovery drive and perform a reset/refresh of your system with the image.


Sometimes you may need to reset or restore your Surface to the factory settings when the system is not working properly. How to reset the Surface using the USB recovery drive? Here are detailed steps:

Step 6. You can select either Just remove my files or Fully clean the drive. The former option will refresh but keep your PC, while the latter will recycle your Surface and may take hours to complete.


In this case, you need to enable the boot-from-USB option from the Surface BIOS or set the USB recovery drive as the first boot option. Here we will show you how to set the USB as the first boot order.

Unfortunately though, I failed to realize that the encryption software is not compatible with systems that don't use a MBR so that I ended in an endless "attempting automatic repairs" loop as the Surface tried to access the system but could not because of the encrypted hard drive.


All options to resolve the issue using the automatic repair options were fruitless, and since I could not reset the PC either because the data was still encrypted on the drive, I had to grab a recovery image manually and use it instead.


The process itself is straightforward and the requirements are that you need to have a Microsoft account (which you can create if you don't), the serial number of the Surface device and a USB Flash drive with at least 8 Gigabyte of storage.

Two images of a Lambertian surface obtained under different illumination conditions, determine the local surface normals up to two possible orientations. We show that for smooth surfaces, the local integrability constraints usually resolve the problem of deciding between the two possibilities. We also provide a complete characterization of the surfaces that remain ambiguous under given illumination conditions.


Microsoft just launched its Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7. The devices are among the first wave of Copilot+ PCs that run on Snapdragon X Elite or Snapdragon X Plus processors. If you grabbed yourself one of the new flagship PCs during launch week and have run into serious issues, there is a new solution available. Microsoft released recovery images for the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7, giving users another way to reset their PCs.


There are multiple ways to reset a Windows 11 PC, including options that do not require a recovery image. Generally speaking, those options should be tried first before using a recovery image to reset your PC. But there are cases in which resetting your PC to factory conditions is not the solution to an issue. A recovery image can provide a way to reset your PC in those instances.


To get a recovery image for your Surface device, you'll need to sign into Microsoft's website. Once signed in, you can select the product you need a recovery image for and then enter the serial number of your device. Note that due to Microsoft's naming scheme for the new Surface devices, which are officially called the Surface Pro 11th Edition and Surface Pro 7th Edition, the PCs appear in the dropdown menu in an order you may not expect.
