Surface service and repair options

• Gjelder for:

  Windows 10, Windows 11

Most newer Surface devices support repair or replacement of key components like the SSD, keyboard, or display. With a new Surface for Business device, you get service and repair¹ options to extend its lifespan.

If your Surface stops working, there are several ways to service, repair, or replace its components.

Every commercial device includes at least a one-year Microsoft Limited Hardware Warranty. For added peace of mind, Microsoft Protection Plans² offer extended coverage and services, from deployment to replacement.

In-warranty devices

For devices covered by Microsoft's Limited Hardware Warranty³ or a Protection Plan, open a service request via a self-serve portal. To repair devices yourself, see Customer self-serve repair.

Note

Self-serve replacement components must be purchased separately, regardless of warranty status. Replacement components may be refurbished.
