Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 firmware/driver packages released by Microsoft

This week Microsoft's newest devices from their Surface line will become widely available as the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book hit retail shelves and the doorsteps of enthusiasts thanks to pre-orders over the last few weeks.

These devices are already running Windows 10 so there are likely some updates available when they come out of the box and get setup by their new owners.

Although every user will not need the entire package of firmware and hardware drivers the day their new device arrives, updates will be available on  Windows Update, these packages from Microsoft can be handy as backups or for those who may be imaging the new Surface devices for their company.

If that is the case then these two new downloads are worth bookmarking.
