“Will charging and USB access all be through the USB C port? I want to be able to hook it into a monitor, but I would like to be charging it at the same time too.”

• Yes, the USB C port on surface go supports power delivery, data and display protocols. This means, with the proper monitor/docking setup, you can use ONE cable to charge the surface go, extend the display to a second monitor and connect usb peripherals like hard drives, keyboards, mice, etc.

• The Surface Go power supply has a separate charging port, apart from the USB C port. If you have an adapter for the USB C port to hook up to an external display that is compatible with Windows 10, you should be able to charge your device while displaying on an external monitor.

• No, it uses the proprietary magnetic connection and will not charge via USB-C.
