Microsoft has committed to at least six years of driver and firmware updates for Surface PCs that have shipped on or after January 1st, 2021.
As spotted by Windows Central, a Microsoft support document now mentions the minimum six-year window, which is up from the previous four-year guarantee.
For context, devices released on or after January 1st, 2021 include:
- Surface Pro 7 Plus
- Surface Laptop 4
- Surface Pro 8
- Surface Laptop Studio
- Surface Go 3
- Surface Pro X Wi-Fi
- Surface Laptop SE
- Surface Laptop Go 2
- Surface Laptop 5
- Surface Pro 9
- Surface Studio 2 Plus
- Surface Go 4
- Surface Laptop Go 3
- Surface Laptop Studio 2
As The Verge notes, this still isn’t as long as the 10 years of updates Google has promised for Chromebooks, but it’s certainly better than four.
