Surface Pro 7 (model 1866) - Seeking Assistance with Blue Screen of death

[Inukshuk]

Any local Denver computer techs?

I have a Surface Pro 7 (model 1866) with Blue Screen of death. I'd be willing to pay you to see if it can be made to work. I have had Surface Pros before and I like them. I also use a Surface Laptop.

The Surface Pro 7 was given to me. I don't care about any data. I would invest a few $$ to see if it can be gotten to work. I did all the basics. Likely it needs a diagnostic to see if the HDD is fatally corrupted and more likely is some fatal Windows error requiring a fresh Windows 11 install.

I'd also want to know the specs of this particular machine. There were processor and RAM options.

FYI "The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is over 6 years old, as it was released on October 2, 2019. It is no longer receiving firmware and driver updates, with the end-of-servicing date being October 30, 2025"

I'll also soon be needing some advice related to my current primary home machine - a tower - that is not WIN 11 compatible.

Daniel, have you tried to start it in safe mode and then go into recovery and pick and earlier "saved" position?

If that doesnt work you need to use a recovery drive

Yeah I tried all that.
Someone needs to do that recovery drive stuff for me and maybe more.
I also had a phone call with Yoder about it

I am happy to give it a try. No charge to you, but you get what you pay for

Daniel, happy to help! Do you need to meet soon or wanna grab a beer before the next meeting? There are some workaround for the W11 readiness. I just forced my personal machine and rolled out W11 to all the devices for the organization, some requiring work arounds.
