Hi Alison Dulli
I understand that finding the correct battery and repair option can be confusing when the exact Surface model is not yet known.
First, please open the Surface app, expand Device information, and note the Surface model and Serial number shown there. You can then sign in to the Microsoft Devices page, register the device if needed, and check which service options are currently available for that specific model.
Could you also let me know the exact Surface Laptop model? Battery replacement and authorized in-person service availability can vary by model and location.
I would recommend checking the service options for the device before purchasing a battery separately, as replacement parts are not available for every Surface model. You can also review the official Surface service and repair guidance and the serial number instructions. Thank you so much for your understanding.
