If you upgraded to Windows 8.1 on a Surface RT last week, there was a chance your tablet got bricked. Microsoft now has a solution to hand — but it’s not a small download.
The Surface RT recovery image weighs in at 3.7GB, which means you’ll need a decent sized USB drive to install it to. It should return a bricked Surface RT to factory default — a timely reminder that backup of your own files should be a first step, not a last minute emergency step — and get you back up and working.

I think that 3.7GB is quite small for a recovery image of a 16GB OS. That’s pretty good compression.
Wouldn’t be surprise if it has to download a bunch of stuff once it’s up and running again.
