Here the easy way to transfer videos, music, pictures to Microsoft Surface from PC for enjoyment we’d like to share you on the go. Well, it’s not hard at all. You can easily add music, pictures, videos, and documents to your Surface using one of the following methods:
1: Connect to a network computer
Surface can access music, pictures, videos, and documents on computers that are part of your home network. To see the files and folders that have been shared on your network, go to the Start screen and open File Explorer. Shared items appear under HomeGroup or Network.
2: Use a USB flash drive or memory card-microSD, microSDHC, or micro SDXC cards all work with Surface
You can also move music/image/movie files to Surface, by copying them to a USB flash drive or memory card (microSD, microSDHC, and micro SDXC cards all work with Surface) and then adding the files to Surface. Here’s how:
1. Copy files onto a USB flash drive or memory card on your other computer.
2. Insert the USB flash drive or memory card into Surface.
3. Tap or click the notification that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen.
4. Tap or click Open folder to view files.
File Explorer opens.
5. Select the files or folders you want to add to Surface, tap or click Home, and then tap or click Copy to.
6. Select a location. For example, choose Documents if the flash drive or memory card contains documents.
Use SkyDrive
With SkyDrive, you can store music, pictures, and documents in the cloud and access them from any web-connected device. This includes your Surface, phone, or any computer.

Above are the easy way to get videos/music/pictures to Microsoft Surface. While, something you need to make sure the files you sent to your Surface from PC should be in Microsoft Surface supported file type. For example, the video files you transferred should be in AVI, WMV, MPEG-4, H.264 and QuickTime format.
