Introduction
In the world of tech, Microsoft Surface Pro devices stand out for their versatility and performance. When we unbox a new Surface Pro 4 or Pro 3, it’s like unwrapping a treasure trove of possibilities. But what’s the first step after the big reveal? Charging, of course!
Charging your Surface Pro for the first time is crucial. Using genuine Microsoft chargers ensures safety and optimal performance. We’ve learned from experience that non-genuine chargers can lead to issues or even damage the device. We always use the charger that comes with the Surface box.
When it comes to settings, the process is straightforward. Simply connect the charger to a power outlet and plug the other end into the Surface charging port. The charging port magnetically connects, which makes it easy to hook up.
| **Model** | **Charging Time** | **Power Supply** |
| Surface Pro 4 | 2-4 hours | 24W |
| Surface Pro 3 | 2-4 hours | 36W |
While the charger does its magic, device setup is our next focus. We recommend keeping an eye out for any potential issues like dead pixels. If there’s a problem, Microsoft Support is there to help or you can contact the retailer.
After the initial charge and setup, we like to dive into the features. Having access to Windows settings and being able to reset or restore is paramount. Remember, safety and regulatory information included in the box is also important for peace of mind.
With our Surface fully charged and equipped with the right knowledge, we’re ready to explore and enjoy the full range of features this device has to offer!
