A new firmware update has been released by Microsoft today for its two flagship tablet products, the Surface 3 and Pro 3. There aren’t many new features involved, but these are meaty firmware updates nonetheless, and will be crucial for the devices moving into the future.

The changelogs for both updates are below. The key takeaways for the Surface 3 update are driver updates; this should improve stability and performance across the board. In the case of the Pro 3, there are driver updates as well, as well as a UEFI update adding support for new Windows 10 features. With the launch of the OS just a few weeks away at this point, this certainly makes sense – and now we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
