Set up your Surface 3
If you have a Surface 3
Type Cover, click it into place
and open the kickstand.
Plug the Micro USB connector
into the Micro USB charging
port with the power cord
extending downward and the
light on the connector facing
toward you.
Plug the full-size USB
connector on the other end of
the cord into the power supply,
and plug the power supply into
an electrical outlet.
Press the power button to turn
Surface 3 on. Windows starts,
and guides you through the
setup process.
Use the Surface 3 touchscreen or Surface 3 Type Cover (sold separately) to enter info during setup.
To set up Surface 3, you’ll also need:
 An Internet connection (recommended). Setup will automatically try to connect to a network. If
your network requires a password, you’ll need to have it handy. If you don’t have an Internet
connection, you can still set up your Surface, but you won’t get the latest Windows and Surface
updates until you’re online.
 An account name. If you have a Microsoft account, use it to set up your Surface 3. A Microsoft
account is an email address and password you use to sign in to other Microsoft services like
Xbox, Hotmail, Outlook.com, OneDrive, Skype, or Windows Phone. If you don’t already have a
Microsoft account, you can create one during setup. If you prefer, create a local account. For
more info, see Microsoft account or local account?
