    • Our warranty and protection plans include coverage for Mechanical breakdown,2 protecting your devices against unintended mechanical failure.

    • Your devices are also covered in case of Accidental Damage2 from handling (damage caused by accidents, cracked screens, or power surges) by Microsoft protection plans.

    • Solid State Drive (SSD) Retention5 means you can retain the SSD from your device during a service event, empowering you with more control over your privacy, data, and security.

    • By retaining your original drive, you reduce public exposure of business information during repair. If a Surface removeable SSD is tampered with, the device will shut off power through cloud security.
