Microsoft has rolled out new cumulative firmware and driver packages targeted at its Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 tablets, namely the October 2019 update, which improves battery life and enhances integration between services.

In addition to that, this update also installs Realtek High Definition Audio (SST) and Realtek Device Extension version 6.0.8778.2 that improve the Cortana speech experience for both devices.

As for installation, know that this task can be carried out either automatically via Microsoft’s Windows Update service or manually by downloading and installing the package.

If the first method is desired, take into account that not all Surface owners will receive this new firmware at the same time, and you might need to wait for this release to reach your tablet. As for the other method, simply save, extract, and install all files on your device.

However, do not forget that the present firmware is only targeted at the Surface units mentioned above. Also, it would be a good idea to reboot your device manually (if not requested automatically), to ensure all changes take effect properly.

That said, download Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 Firmware/Driver October 2019 or download Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Tablet Firmware/Driver October 2019, install it, and constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
