If your Microsoft Surface Studio 2 will not start, shows no picture, runs hot or has become slow, we can diagnose and repair it at our Bermondsey workshop. The Microsoft Surface Studio 2 is a 2018 all-in-one PC with a 28-inch screen, identified by model number 1707. The SSD can be replaced but the memory is soldered, so storage is the only upgrade.

Price confirmed before work starts
SSD and storage upgrade
The Microsoft Surface Studio 2 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.

Memory
Memory in the Microsoft Surface Studio 2 is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is worth knowing this before paying anyone for a memory upgrade.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Microsoft Surface Studio 2 meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Microsoft Surface Studio 2, along with stand repair, no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
What we see on the bench
- Faults with the detach mechanism are common and are not always a hardware failure.
- The Surface Book has a battery in the screen section and another in the base, and either can swell.
- The SSD is in the screen section, behind the glued display.
