1. Installing Windows: You will need a Windows 11 Installation Media (on a USB drive) and another computer to create it. Since the Surface uses specific hardware, you may need to download the Surface Laptop 4 Driver MSI from Microsoft's website on another device to ensure the Wi-Fi and Touchscreen work immediately after installation.

1. Removable Storage: While the RAM is soldered, the SSD is technically removable. However, it uses the rare M.2 2230 size. If 512GB isn't enough, it is possible to upgrade this to 1TB or 2TB later, though Microsoft recommends professional service to avoid damaging the display.

1. Battery Calibration: Since this is an 11th Gen device, if it has been sitting in a box for a long time, the battery may need a few cycles (charging to 100% and draining to 10%) to reach its full 17-hour rated potential.

1. Surface Connect vs. USB-C: You can charge this laptop using the included magnetic Surface Connect charger OR any high-quality 65W+ USB-C Power Delivery charger.
