    If your Surface Pro 8 is currently running another mode or OS setup, you can usually switch back to Windows through the recovery or boot settings. Microsoft also provides a recovery image specifically for Surface devices that helps reinstall Windows safely. Before making changes, it’s always a good idea to back up important files and emails to avoid accidental data loss during the process.
