Want to wipe all the partitions on your SP3 or S3?

Lost your recovery thumb drive?

Want to recover the recovery partition so you can sell your device?

I'll show you how to recover your SP3 or S3 to a factory default state even if you have totally blitzed your S3 or SP3's SSD or installed a linux installation.

IMPORTANT: If you are having issues booting even after following these steps... try another thumb drive! Some surface devices just don't like certain models of thumb drives.
Also, try naming your drive "ESD-USB" and see if that helps
