1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
hey what is up everybody it is aj here
2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,679
and in today's video i'm going to teach
3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,519
you how to do a bare metal recovery on
4
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:09,359
any surface device
5
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:11,439
so a bare metal recovery is essentially
6
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:13,119
restoring any surface device back to the
7
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:15,279
factory settings as if you're taking it
8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,118
out of the box for the first time
9
00:00:15,279 --> 00:00:18,800
so why would you want to do a bare metal
10
00:00:17,118 --> 00:00:20,160
recovery in the first place well there's
11
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,920
a number of reasons you might want to do
12
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,839
a bare metal recovery on your surface
13
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,920
device the first might be that your
14
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:27,518
surface device isn't working correctly
15
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,599
and you can't log into windows therefore
16
00:00:27,518 --> 00:00:31,518
you can't do any extra troubleshooting
17
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:34,159
if you do a bare metal recovery via a
18
00:00:31,518 --> 00:00:36,159
usb you can actually bypass the windows
19
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,679
itself and reload it on there as if
20
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,359
you're taking out of the box the first
21
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:40,960
time and that way you can start up your
22
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,640
computer from scratch
23
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,160
the other reason may be that you've
24
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,920
forgotten the password to your computer
25
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,000
and you can't log in to actually do any
26
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,280
troubleshooting so a bare meta recovery
27
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,280
again is going to let you reinstall
28
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,280
windows for the first time it could be
29
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,039
that you've bought a laptop off ebay or
30
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,719
facebook or whatever it may be and you
31
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,920
might not trust the person that actually
32
00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:59,679
had given you the computer that you
33
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,359
bought it from and you know a bare metal
34
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,960
recovery is going to completely wipe the
35
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:04,879
drive and again restore it back to
36
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,320
factory settings or there could be any
37
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,478
other reason you want to do a bare metal
38
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,839
recovery whatever your reason this video
39
00:01:08,478 --> 00:01:11,438
is going to show you exactly how to do
40
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,359
it there are a few things you're going
41
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:15,839
to need to do a bare metal recovery on
42
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:18,319
your surface device the first one is a
43
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,478
usb with at least 16 gigs of ram so you
44
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,158
can load the image on there the second
45
00:01:20,478 --> 00:01:24,079
thing you're going to need is a working
46
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:26,159
windows computer it doesn't have to be a
47
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:28,879
surface device just has to be a windows
48
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,880
10 or windows 11 pc of course it's going
49
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:33,359
to be connected to the internet and you
50
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:35,199
are going to need your faulty or your
51
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,400
problem surface device that you are
52
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
going to restore
53
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,520
and once you have your internet
54
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,919
connection your working windows device
55
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:44,478
your usb key and of course your problem
56
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840
device we can get straight into this so
57
00:01:44,478 --> 00:01:48,239
let's actually jump on the computer and
58
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,920
start downloading that bmr image
59
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:51,679
what we're going to do first is go on to
60
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,118
the surface recovery image download
61
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,880
website i'll put the link in the
62
00:01:53,118 --> 00:01:56,879
description down below so it's easy for
63
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:58,560
you guys to access but this is basically
64
00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:00,478
how you can download and access any
65
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,478
surface recovery image for any surface
66
00:02:00,478 --> 00:02:03,679
device we're going to scroll down and
67
00:02:02,478 --> 00:02:05,200
it's going to tell us a bit about what
68
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,920
we need which of course is going to be
69
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,360
that
70
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,280
usb with at least 16 gigs of memory and
71
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,640
what we do in step one is of course
72
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,479
select the surface that we want to
73
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,039
recover what you're going to need here
74
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:18,159
is of course the model so for this
75
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:20,400
example we're actually going to do a
76
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,840
surface pro 7 plus and then you're going
77
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,439
to put in the serial number of your
78
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,439
surface device and you're going to hit
79
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:26,800
continue once you hit continue it's
80
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:27,919
going to bring you over to step two
81
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,920
which is where you're going to download
82
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,919
the surface recovery image some
83
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,518
computers may actually have two or three
84
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,439
versions of here and that gives you a
85
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:37,439
few different versions of
86
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:40,079
a factory image it could be say windows
87
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:41,919
10 and a windows 11 image it could be an
88
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
earlier in a later version of that
89
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,719
recovery key
90
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,919
select whichever one you're after
91
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,359
they're all going to be the right one
92
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,518
for your computer
93
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,760
in this instance the surface pro 7 plus
94
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:53,439
only has one option and then we're going
95
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,120
to simply select on download recovery
96
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:57,359
image i do want to let you know that the
97
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,878
recovery image will be around 10 gigs so
98
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,480
it will take a little bit of time to
99
00:02:58,878 --> 00:03:02,079
download but that's okay we just got to
100
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,399
be patient and then once it's fully
101
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,080
downloaded we can move on to step three
102
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,239
so you can see in my downloads here that
103
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000
the surface pro 7 plus bmi has
104
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:12,239
downloaded and what we're going to do
105
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,439
now is go into our start option and
106
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:14,719
we're going to type in the words
107
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,239
recovery
108
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:17,840
you can see that we have the option of
109
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:20,080
recovery drive and we're simply going to
110
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,479
select on recovery drive and open up
111
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,920
this program
112
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:26,158
it's going to open up and say do you
113
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,518
want to allow the recovery media creator
114
00:03:26,158 --> 00:03:30,878
to open and we're simply going to go yes
115
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:33,840
and then it's going to help us create a
116
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:36,000
recovery drive so you can leave the
117
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,360
option tick to backup system files to
118
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
the recovery drive and that's going to
119
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
back up your existing computer but
120
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,878
because we're going to do this for a
121
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,840
separate pc we're simply going to untick
122
00:03:42,878 --> 00:03:46,878
this
123
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,840
and then we can go next give this a few
124
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:51,359
seconds to load
125
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,039
and then it's going to find all the
126
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,799
external usb drives that are plugged
127
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:56,878
into your computer of course we only
128
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:58,480
have the one usb which is our 16 gig
129
00:03:56,878 --> 00:03:59,919
that we've plugged in makes it really
130
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:02,318
easy to find when you only have the one
131
00:03:59,919 --> 00:04:03,679
plugged in and then we're gonna go next
132
00:04:02,318 --> 00:04:05,839
what's gonna happen here is it's gonna
133
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,480
prepare that usb drive to become a
134
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,878
recovery usb for a surface or a windows
135
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:12,238
device and we're just gonna go next
136
00:04:10,878 --> 00:04:13,679
we're gonna get another warning saying
137
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:15,280
hey everything on this drive is going to
138
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,439
get deleted so make sure you have a
139
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,279
backup of it if you're okay with that
140
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:21,279
then simply hit create
141
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,559
and then give it a few minutes to format
142
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,559
that usb that you've plugged in
143
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,959
after a couple of minutes it does say
144
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:31,680
the recovery drive is ready and we're
145
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:33,439
simply going to go finish
146
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,079
what you want to do now i find it easier
147
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:38,079
if you snap two file explorers side by
148
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:41,120
side so you can see on the left hand
149
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:42,478
side i have my general pc file explorer
150
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,639
on the right hand side i have my
151
00:04:42,478 --> 00:04:46,079
downloads which has the bmr inside of it
152
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,240
and i'm simply going to open up the
153
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:49,839
recovery drive that it's formatted and
154
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,240
there's going to be two folders in here
155
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,679
the efi and the sources what we're going
156
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,720
to do now is we're actually going to
157
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,639
open up the surface pro 7 plus bmr you
158
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000
don't need to unzip this but we're just
159
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,280
going to double click and open
160
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120
everything up
161
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,879
and then we're just going to control a
162
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,240
we're going to select all of it
163
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:10,399
and copy it and paste it over into that
164
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,840
recovery usb drive
165
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:13,679
it will come to a point where it says
166
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,239
hey there is already an existing folder
167
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,639
called efi an existing folder called
168
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,759
an existing folder called sources and
169
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:22,840
what you want to do is you want to
170
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:26,240
select on the option of replacing those
171
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:28,319
drives i'm right now using a usb a not a
172
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,079
usb c drive so i might actually swap
173
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:32,639
this out just so it speeds up the
174
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:34,079
process of copying this 10 gigs across
175
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:36,478
so that's another tip make sure you're
176
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:38,719
using a fast drive otherwise you will be
177
00:05:36,478 --> 00:05:42,240
waiting quite a while to copy everything
178
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,080
from the recovery onto that external usb
179
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,160
once all the material from the bmi is
180
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:48,159
saved onto the usb you want to grab your
181
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,240
faulty surface device in this case we
182
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,120
have a pro 7 plus and you want to do a
183
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,120

197
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,240
see a preparation symbol down the bottom
198
00:06:22,478 --> 00:06:25,839
under the windows logo in a couple of
199
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,000
seconds you want to keep holding the

00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,160
launch into windows please wait it's
205
00:06:38,478 --> 00:06:42,240
loading and now it's gonna go into the
206
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,639
blue screen and here we're now in our
207
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,800
recovery option and it says um it looks
208
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:48,478
like your computer didn't start properly
209
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,598
you can hit the restart my computer
210
00:06:48,478 --> 00:06:51,519
option that's just going to try and
211
00:06:49,598 --> 00:06:53,038
restart and boot into windows 10 but
212
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:55,519
what you want to do is actually go see
213
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:57,759
advanced repair options
214
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,519
this is we're going to use the
215
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,800
keyboard on here so we're just going to
216
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:03,680
go to
217
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,639
see advanced repair options
218
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,280
and then we have the option of
219
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:09,519
continuing or using a usb drive which is
220
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,000
the second option down the bottom here
221
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:14,000
of um booting in a usb drive and
222
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,720
restarting the computer so now i'm just
223
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,720
going to plug in the usb
224
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,439
to the drive
225
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400
and let's just focus on the computer for
226
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:23,598
a second
227
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,000
there we go
228
00:07:23,598 --> 00:07:28,159
and we're just going to use a usb device
229
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,079
to recover and then it's going to ask us
230
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,840
which device we're going to use internal
231
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,359
storage is the hard drive on the
232
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,799
computer you don't want to use that you
233
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,800
want to use the second option which is
234
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,439
usb storage and we're simply going to
235
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,560
select usb i do want to note that if you
236
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,319
are going to do this make sure your
237
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160
computer is plugged into power because
238
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:45,680
the last thing you want is the computer
239
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,800
to do a restart
240
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,800
and um or do a install and run out of
241
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,800
power during this process
242
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,360
but you can see here it is now trying to
243
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,120
boot into the recovery mode it's now
244
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,598
pulling data from the usb and it's
245
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,199
launching from the usb and it's starting
246
00:07:59,598 --> 00:08:03,120
the restore
247
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,038
process to do a bare metal recovery on
248
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,079
your surface device
249
00:08:05,038 --> 00:08:08,000
you can see instead of going into
250
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:10,639
windows 10 it's actually loading down
251
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,639
the bottom here
252
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,319
and now it's going to ask us we're
253
00:08:12,478 --> 00:08:16,159
basically in the restart options it's
254
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:18,240
going to ask us to choose a language so
255
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,520
i'm going to say english us
256
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,840
it's going to ask us to choose our
257
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:22,959
keyboard layout so i'm going to go again
258
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:24,638
us
259
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:27,120
and then it's going to ask us if we want
260
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:29,918
to do a recovery from a drive or bring
261
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,240
it to windows go back to windows 10 or
262
00:08:29,918 --> 00:08:34,000
start again from a usb drive the option
263
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,320
you want to pick is the first option of
264
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,918
recover from a drive and this is going
265
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,159
to reinstall windows from the recovery
266
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:42,319
drive connected to the pc that recovery
267
00:08:40,158 --> 00:08:43,918
drive of course is the usb here so we're
268
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,640
going to select the first option recover
269
00:08:43,918 --> 00:08:46,639
from a drive
270
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:51,759
and then you have the option of
271
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,040
just removing your files so select the
272
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:55,120
first option if you're going to keep
273
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:57,120
your computer or you can do a fully
274
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,679
clean the drive this takes a couple of
275
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,360
hours but this fully cleans all the data
276
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,399
off the drive and that's the option you
277
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,240
want to pick if you're going to give
278
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:05,600
your computer to somebody else because
279
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,080
we're going to keep this computer we're
280
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,120
just going to go the first option of
281
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,879
just remove my files and go select
282
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,639
and now we've started the option of
283
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:16,799
recovering from the drive and it's
284
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:19,278
getting things ready to reinstall
285
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,639
windows 10 or windows 11 from the bare
286
00:09:19,278 --> 00:09:22,240
metal recovery
287
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:24,159
of course it gives us a warning here
288
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,600
saying if you do this it cannot be
289
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,679
undone it's going to delete all your
290
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,600
information and your data and if you're
291
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,838
ready to proceed hit the recover button
292
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200

and you can see now we are recovering
296
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:43,919
this pc it may take an hour two hours
297
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,680
depending on your computer but once this
298
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:48,240
