How do I return a Microsoft Surface Pro laptop?

Answer

Laptops must be returned in-person to the Tech Help Desk. Do not place laptops in a book drop. 

Before returning your device, please complete the following steps:

  1. Close all open windows and applications.
  2. Delete your files:
    • Open File Explorer (folder icon in the taskbar).
    • Check each of these folders: Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos.
    • If you see any of your files, right-click each item, select "Show more options," then click "Delete."
    • Close the window when finished.
  3. Empty your Recycle Bin (delete all items).

When returning your device to the Computer Lab:

  • Be signed in and ready to show a staff member that all of your files have been removed.
  • After verification that your files have been deleted, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and sign out.
  • Power off the device before handing it in.

If you need help with any of these steps, the Computer Lab Assistant can assist you.
