Clean install is always better than upgrade install of Windows 11. It works beautifully, and I bet it would work perfectly on your Surface. I wrote this in the sticky Purchase Advice Thread about installing Win11 from scratch on a Surface Go, which is the same vintage as your Surface 6. No, I am not going to read through all of your posts to figure out if this has already been tried. Of course, if you have messed with drivers and installed ones not available from Microsoft, you might want to roll back the drivers or do a reset. Personally, I would suggest, before doing anything radical, grabbing a 256GB Sandisk (or other mainstream) card to make sure it is not just the card itself. This always involved them dismounting on their own, with Samsung having more issues than most. I had occasional issues with cards greater than 256GB both in my own computers and those of my staff between SP3 and SP7.

You should also, however, keep in mind that high capacity Micro SDXC drives have never been a model of reliability in Surface devices since the port is/was under powered. The disadvantage is that if you have upgraded the version of Windows, it grabs the version that was original to the serial number and you need to jump through a few hops to get back to Pro.īTW, if this is about Micro SDXC issues, you could try linking to a post instead of asking people read through all of them to figure out your problem. If you want to start over from scratch, download the recovery image from Microsoft using the serial number and then follow the directions provided. The advantage is, if you have upgraded to Windows 10/11 Pro, it will download the current release of that version. The simplest way is to just go to settings, choose reset (under recovery), do a clean reset wiping the drive, and have it download the OS from the web instead of using the version hidden on the computer.
