Both the Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro are not getting a firmware update today and neither the original Surface RT tablet. Surface Pro 3, the latest Intel-based tablet, is getting a new firmware update that will further improve the Wi-Fi connectivity and a few other fixes that Microsoft isn’t yet talking about. However the Surface Pro 3 firmware won’t be available today, users will have to wait a bit longer. Also remember that Microsoft has already released an out-of-date firmware update for its Surface Pro 3. Last October 6, the company released a firmware to let users customize the pen functionality with the help of the Surface Hub app. Like always all changes and details can also be found at the Microsoft Update History site.
