Surface Pro 7 and Laptop 3 get firmware updates ahead of official launch

Microsoft"s recently-announced Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 are set to be officially available starting tomorrow, but the company is already pushing out firmware updates ahead of the launch. Both devices are receiving both firmware and driver updates to improve the overall experience. The updates are available for users running Windows 10 version 1809 or later, which shouldn"t really matter since the new Surface devices all ship with version 1903.

For the Surface Pro 7, there are five updates, which you can see below:

Windows Update History Name	Device Manager Name
Surface - Firmware - 14.42.139.0	Surface System Aggregator– Firmware 16.16.139.0 helps improve battery life.

The first three updates on this list are also available for both Intel and AMD models of the Surface Laptop 3, albeit with slightly different version numbers. However, they have some additional updates, too. For the Intel-based variants, you"ll get this update as well:
