Recently a friend ask me for an updated driver for an issue with an older device in the surface family. So I thougth it would be a good idea first to check if the device is still supported. As we have the row of devices now for a couple years.
The good news were the devices up to Surface 3 are still under "firmware and driver" support. So in this case I could open a case for this driver issue and still believe it may be served. Actually its not a guarantee that PG agrees with my issue and will fix it. But there is some how a legal basis for it according to their own support policies.
Checkout here the list!
1. Indicates devices with a previously declared end of firmware/driver servicing support date.
More details especially also the differentiation on device support and OS version support you will find here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-driver-firmware-lifecycle-support
To dig deeper its also very helpful to checkout the surface update history which is found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4036283
