Thank you so much for this! It's been a minute since I'd done a factory reset on my Surface Pro 3, and I don't know if something changed in the recovery menu options or something, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't able to get my machine to use the USB recovery drive I'd created. But your walkthrough helped sort it all out! Successfully doing the bare metal recovery -- as opposed to relying on the cloud recovery I had done in defeat, but that made me itchy because I'd never done it and prefer the recovery drive creation and booting into it method. THANK YOU!

I couldn't get into recovery mode by pressing and holding volume down and power button. Rather, I used the volume up and power button to get into a area where I could change the boot sequence and selected USB and instructed it to boot immediately (note I had my recovery USB drive plugged in). From there, I got to the "blue screen" and all went perfectly from there. Anyways, many thanks to this video for getting my Surface Pro 7+ up and running again!!!

I thought I'd pitch in for some additional support (As Microsoft did not cover this in their guide). For anyone who might be getting the issue. "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." Please make sure that in your BIOS that you have the correct settings. it should look like this: Internal Storage - (active) USB Storage - (active) PXE Network - (active) ((Advanced options)) Enable alternative boot sequence - (on) Enable IPv6 from PXE Network boot option - (on) Enable Boot from USB devices - (on) Enable Boot Configuration Lock - (OFF) = Having this on is the reason most are getting this issue, so turning this off should work Automatic power-on after power loss - (off) Also thank you @AldoJames for the very informative video!

Thank you for thoroughly explaining the this process . I am eager to try this process however my sp7 screen is messed up and i am not able to see anything, prior to me wanting to reset I was using my tv as a monitor via HDMI. I was planning to fix screen Once I could afford to replace screen. Unfortunately, for whatever reason my sp7 won't project to my tv until windows has loaded and right know my sp7 will not get passed blue screen hence why I am wanting to reset my sp7. Do you know a work around that will enable to cast blue screen to an external monitor? Please advise..

Thanks a lot for the great video .

really nice, what about ARM devices? I don't have another one and when I create the recovery drive and I launch and copy the image over the USB. Inserting the USB it's telling me that my PC is not running a 64bit architecture so I am not able to proceed. MS doesn't seem to release ARM images for devices. I was able to download one from the Surface recovery website but still the recovery drive creating from a 64b won't work on ARM. Any idea would be really much appreciated

Thank you! Does this revert faulty firmware updates as well? :)
