help Microsoft Surface Go FAQ
Does the Microsoft Surface Go run full Windows applications or just apps from the Microsoft Store?
The Surface Go runs full Windows 10 or Windows 11 rather than a mobile operating system, meaning it can run standard desktop applications like Microsoft Office, Chrome, and traditional x86 software. Earlier base models shipped with Windows 10 in S Mode, which restricted app installation to the Microsoft Store but could be switched to standard Windows at no cost.
Can you expand storage on the Microsoft Surface Go with a microSD card?
Yes, the Surface Go includes a microSDXC card reader located under the kickstand, allowing you to expand storage beyond the built-in SSD. This is particularly useful since the base configurations ship with as little as 64GB of eMMC storage, though higher-end models use faster NVMe SSDs.
Is the Microsoft Surface Pen included with the Surface Go or sold separately?
The Surface Pen is sold separately and is not included in the box with the Surface Go tablet. The Surface Go is fully compatible with the Surface Pen for note-taking and drawing, supporting pressure sensitivity and tilt.
