Download drivers and firmware for Surface
Updates keep your Surface performing its best. Along with software updates for Windows 10 or Windows 11, it's important to make hardware updates, also known as updates for drivers and firmware.
You can quickly check the health of your Surface drivers and firmware using the Surface app.
-
In the Surface app, expand Help & support to check the update status.
-
If there are updates available, select the Check for updates button to open Windows Update and install the available updates.
Note: If you don't have the Surface app installed, you can download the Surface app from the Microsoft Store. When it has downloaded, select Start, search for Surface, then select the app from the list of results.
Should your device need an update, in this article, you'll find the steps to prepare your Surface before updating and then you'll learn about the update options:
-
Automatically update Windows 10, Windows 11, and Surface drivers and firmware (Recommended)
-
Manually update Surface drivers and firmware (Advanced) You'll find the links for drivers after choosing your Surface model in the dropdown list in this section.
Note: If you prefer to see links for drivers in a table format, you can find that in Manage and deploy Surface driver and firmware updates. You'll find direct links to downloadable packages that contain driver and firmware updates for Surface devices.
You'll also find a section about imaging for IT professionals.
Prepare your Surface before updating
To prepare for updates:
-
Attach your Surface Type Cover or Surface Dock (if you have one) so it gets the latest updates, too.
-
Make sure you have an internet connection.
-
Plug your Surface into an outlet and make sure it's charged to at least 40 percent before installing updates. Keep your Surface plugged in and turned on while it's updating.
Automatically update Windows 10, Windows 11, and Surface drivers and firmware
After following the preparation steps, see Update Windows to learn how to check for updates and install them. Or select the Check for Windows updates button below to open Windows Update in Settings.
Note: If you have trouble, see Trouble installing Surface and Windows updates? If you install an update and then realize you need to remove the update or revert to a previous version of Windows, see Recovery options in Windows.
After the updates have finished installing, we recommend that you install all available optional updates. To install optional updates, go to the Search box in the taskbar, type View optional updates and select it from the list of results. If updates are available in Driver updates, ensure that all “Surface” named drivers have been installed.
Manually update Surface drivers and firmware
Manual updates are useful if you need to update an offline device, update many devices that are all the same model, or if you’re creating system images for your organization.
Note: If you want to manually update the operating system for Windows 10 or Windows 11, use the methods in Download Windows 10 or Download Windows 11.

In Device information, select View More and look at the value next to Surface model and OS build.
Now you're ready to start the manual update.
