- Hi I'm agent Bennet, and today I'll show you
how to set up your new Microsoft Surface Duo
here's what you'll need.
The included SIM card tray removal tool,
an activated SIM card from your mobile carrier,
and your network name, and password,
all right, let's get started.
Find the SIM card tray removal tool in the box,
it looks like this, now align it
with the SIM card trays hole on the right side,
apply a small amount of pressure,
and the SIM card tray should pop right out.
Now insert your SIM card,
making sure it's facing the right direction,
and slide it back in, you'll hear a click, great.
Now let's power on the Surface Duo
By holding down the power button,
you can complete the set-up in book mode like this,
or in the single screen mode like this.
When its boots go ahead and select your language
and press continue to move on.
Next, confirm that the SIM card
is properly inserted and functioning.
If you're only going to be using wifi
and don't have a SIM card,
you can press here to skip this step.
If you wanna connect to wifi,
you can choose your preferred network here
and enter the password,
then press next.
If you don't want to connect to wifi, press skip.
It'll now check for any software updates.
If there are any, go ahead and install those now.
Now you'll see a few options
to transfer your data from your old phone,
let me walk you through those.
First restore the Surface Duo from another Android phone,
this will copy your data
from another Android phone wirelessly.
Next restore from a backup from your Google account,
this will restore the content to your new phone,
using the data from your Google account,
or you can restore from an iPhone.
If you wanna start from scratch,
press don't copy in the bottom left.
I don't need to restore any data on mine
so I'll choose that option,
but make sure to choose the one that works best for you.

You'll now be asked to sign into your Google account.
If you don't already have one,
go ahead and set one up,
or simply press skip if you prefer not to.
Now let's choose the updates we wanna receive
from our Google Assistant.
You can choose from weather, news, quotes and jokes,
simply press the checkbox next to each option
to toggle it on.
When you're ready to move on, press next.
Now let's take a look at voice match.
This feature lets you access your Google Assistant
simply by using your voice.
It even works when your Surface Duo is off.
If you want to enable this press I agree,
if you'd rather not enable that right now, press skip.
Just a reminder, you can always change any
of these settings later if you change your mind,
all right, back to the set-up process,
this is where you can set your preferences
for Google services and permissions.
For example, you can choose
where to store your cloud backups,
wifi scanning, and allow access to your location,
and diagnostic data.
Once you have all your desired services enabled,
hit except, make sure to read the terms and conditions,
and if you agree, press I agree.
Next you will be asked to sign into your Microsoft account.
You can enter your login information here or tap skip.
Now it's time to set up your pin and fingerprint
to unlock your Surface Duo,
go ahead and follow the onscreen instructions to do both.
When you're done, press next to move on, and there you go.
Your Android operating system should now be fully loaded
and ready for you to enjoy
on your new Microsoft Surface Duo,
take a few minutes to try out the different modes
let me quickly walk you through them.
Peak mode is great for quickly viewing notifications,
and checking the time.
Book mode is ideal for reading, scrolling
and consuming content across the twin displays.
Compose mode is best for writing longer emails,
documents, and general typing.
Tent mode is preferred for watching videos and conferencing.
Single screen mode is best for phone calls,
camera, and one handed use, and there you go.
