    • Your devices are also covered in case of Accidental Damage2 from handling (damage caused by accidents, cracked screens or power surges) by Microsoft protection plans.

    • Solid State Drive (SSD) Retention5 means you can retain the SSD from your device during a service event, empowering you with more control over your privacy, data and security.
