A handful of Microsoft"s Surface devices are getting a slew of driver and firmware updates this week, including the Surface Laptop 3, Book 3, and Pro 7.

Finally, the Surface Pro 7 shares the same Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and monitor-related updates as the Surface Laptop 3. Additionally, it has the following updates:

As usual, the updates require Windows 10 version 1903 or newer to be installed, which should be the case for everyone, as these devices were all launched after that update was released. It"s possible that you won"t see the updates right away, since they tend to roll out gradually to all devices. You can wait for them to install automatically or check for updates in Windows Update to see if they show up for you.
