- Surface devices are getting an extra two years of firmware updates.
- Microsoft previously guaranteed only four years of support.
- The extended support will come to all Surface PCs released after January 1, 2021.
In an unexpected move, Microsoft has quietly updated its Surface device support page. The company now states that its Surface laptops are getting an additional two years of firmware support.
First spotted by Windows Central, Microsoft has changed its Surface device support page to announce that any Surface device released after January 1, 2021, will get six years of firmware updates. Previously, Microsoft only offered up to four years of support. It also mentions that an updated end-of-service date will be published for devices released before 2021 but have support for longer than four years.
