Surface Studio Drivers and Firmware Now Available from Microsoft for Download

Last week customers who pre-ordered the new Surface Studio not only received emails from Panos Panay about their own personal support line being available but also started to receive their brand new devices early as Microsoft began shipping the hardware ahead of schedule.

Just like other members of Microsoft's Surface hardware line, there is now a dedicated Surface Studio Updates page that will list the various driver and firmware updates as they are released for the new hardware.

In addition to the updates page, Microsoft has also made the initial set of Surface Studio drivers and firmware available for download from their Download Center.

Although you should not need these to get your Surface Studio up and running when you first receive the new device, it might be handy to have these downloaded as backups just in case you need them.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
