Microsoft's Surface 3 Device Now Supports Windows 10 Upgrade

Microsoft has recently released a series of updates for Surface Pro 3 devices, enabling them to run the new Windows 10 operating system. These updates, which can be installed automatically through Windows Update or manually, improve various aspects of the devices' performance.

One of the key updates is to the HD graphics driver, which enhances display stability and graphics performance. Another update improves the image and video quality while using the camera, thanks to an update to the Camera driver. The Surface pen settings driver has also been updated, enabling new functionality with the Surface app.

The wireless network controller and Bluetooth driver have been updated to improve system stability, Wi-Fi connectivity, and increase network download performance. An update to the Surface System Aggregator Firmware improves the experience while using the Microsoft Surface Cover, and an update to the Audio Device driver enhances audio performance.

According to Will Shanklin on Gizmag, the update (Windows 10) fixes the "dual-natured" Windows 8.1 software issue on the Microsoft Surface Pro. This update is a significant step forward, Shanklin states.

If you haven't received the update yet, Microsoft advises manually checking Windows Update later. It's important to note that not every Microsoft Surface Pro 3 device will receive the update at the same time, as updates for Surface Pro 3 devices are delivered in stages.

To install updates manually, follow these steps: 1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and hit Settings, or aim the mouse at the upper-right corner and click Settings. 2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and choose Update and recovery. 3. Choose Check now. 4. Assuming updates are available, choose "View details." 5. Pick the updates you want to install, and tap or click "Install."

After the updates install, you may need to restart the device.

Microsoft has provided timelines for Microsoft 365 device firmware updates, and these periods can be researched publicly on Microsoft’s official support or update pages. However, no specific timeframe for updated firmware availability for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Microsoft Surface 3 was found in the provided search results.
