Now, if I was sensible, at this point I really should have done a full wipe and reinstall. But again, after about 40 minutes of jiggery-pokery (really no other work for it) I ended up in Restore mode and was able to reset Windows. I used my Surface 2 to create a bootable USB and tested it there. Not good, but I was in Starbucks at Bellevue Mall and headed into the Microsoft Store and bought a new USB stick to see if it was my stick that was the issue.

Sure enough the Surface 2 was able to boot from the same USB. StrangeвЂ¦ So I fired up my Surface 2 Pro (hey, it was a travel day, I had everything) and tried it there. Not at all, so I instead a USB to do a full refresh and found that my Microsoft Surface 3 was unable to boot from the USB stick. Tis time I could not get it to boot into recovery. Unfortunately it happened again, the same error, only a few days later and worse, this was on the Saturday a few hours before my flight back to the UK at the end of the Summit. I was at a session with the product team, and after a few minutes poking at buttons and powering on and off I managed to get the device to boot into Recovery mode and ran a refresh. The digital signature for this file could not be verified.

First thing I did was install Windows 10, and everything went well for a while until I got a dreaded blue screen. So I stuck one in my suitcase to deal with later and opened one for me. I had 2 Surface Pro 3вЂ™s, one will have to go back, but that will have to wait. On arrival I had a wonderful unboxing event and found that the first order had indeed been fulfilled. I headed out to the Summit and Amanda (from Northwest Cadence) dropped my orders off at me hotel. Long and short the support desk ended up reissuing the Surface 3 and I got delivery conformation a few days later. The was 2 weeks before I was due to be in the USA for only 8 days so the window was a little tight. Now, I have orders on both the US and UK site so I just assume that things are a little squirrely and give them a call. Then all of my orders disappeared entirely. While the other parts of my order were delivered, Docking Station and cables, the Surface 3 was marked as вЂњPendingвЂќ in the web. I had ordered it more than 2 months ago for it to be delivered to my good friends at Northwest Cadence. I ordered a new Surface 3 Pro 512 to be delivered in the USA that I would pick up when I was at the MVP Summit a few weeks ago. This was when I found my Microsoft Surface 3 unable to boot from USB! Recently I had a crash of Windows 10 and while usually you can boot into recovery mode, Windows was uncooperative.
