If you want to get into the BIOS (actually UEFI) on a Microsoft Surface 3 Tablet follow these instructions
- Power off the Surface – a reboot is not sufficient
- Press and HOLD the Volume UP button (on the left side of the tablet)
- Press and HOLD the Power button for FIVE seconds (on the top of the tablet)
- Release the Power button after five seconds but KEEP HOLDING THE VOLUME button until your see BIOS UEFI
- Have a nice day.

Your way works on my new Surface Pro – I wasted 1/2 hour following the official MS procedure (mindlessly copied by tens of other sites on the first google search page!) – thank’s God you are there too. Thanks.

Other than what I have already written, I can only say that it has taken me many attempts to get into the BIOS and I have seen experienced techs take 10+ tries before getting the timing right.
