How To Turn On Microsoft Surface Laptop

As a Microsoft Surface laptop user, you need to know how to turn it on for a good experience. Here, we’ll show you how and provide tips for troubleshooting any issues.

To power on your device, press the power button. It’s either at the top-right corner or along the side, depending on the model.

If it doesn’t work, check if the charger is plugged in. Maybe try a different outlet or adapter too.

Force restarting can help resolve software glitches. To do this, press and hold both the power button and volume up button for 15 seconds, then release them. Your device should restart.

If nothing works, perform a hard shutdown by pressing and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Then, turn it back on.
