Finding how to pair a Bluetooth device is different compared to most tablets and smartphones since the Surface is using Windows.  One of the easiest ways is to click the up arrow symbol near the bottom right of the Windows task bar at the bottom of your screen.  If you click on the Bluetooth symbol, you will see an option to Add Bluetooth device.
