I just got a replacement surface rt and I want it to look just like my old one. Is there anyway that everything will pop up when I sign in? If so how can I do it? I still have my original rt. I haven't sent it back yet.

Take a look at this page here: Backup and Recovery of Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 - Tip-of-the-Day - KeithMayer.com - Site Home - TechNet Blogs you have a choice between creating what's called a system image (which includes all of your settings, app data and documents) or backing up individual folders and files to your choice. Either way you'll need an external drive or something to copy the files

I manually copied all metro app data to my new surface. And let the system copy all other settings from SkyDrive.

Let me know if you need clarification.
