Hello,

Have you tried downloading the Surface Recovery Image for your model of Microsoft Surface from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-recovery-image and using that?  If your Surface has a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU it is not going to boot from any media for Intel/AMD CPUs.

yes have tried the surface recovery Image but again this will not boot 

what i what to use is Macrium Reflect to make a backup of the hard drive

I don't know about Macrium Reflect.

Doing a google search I've found:

 

And

Apparently, it isn't yet compatible with ARM-based devices.

@Bat21UK This might be caused by the Secure Boot and I believe the locking down of hash/keys being accepted by Microsoft/Intel/Someone now.

Have a look at https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html when you boot from the resulting USB you will get an error and then be able to enroll the key. Ventoy is using the UEFI hash from an existing Linux Distro to the best of my memory.

Here is the part of the doco explaining what you need to do to enrol the key. https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html
