## Updating Surface device drivers and firmware
For devices that receive updates through Windows Update, drivers for Surface components – and even firmware updates – are applied automatically as part of the Windows Update process. For devices with managed updates, such as those updated through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the option to install drivers and firmware through Windows Update is not available. For these managed devices, the recommended driver management process is the deployment of driver and firmware updates using the Windows Installer (.msi) files, which are provided through the Microsoft Download Center. You can find a list of these downloads at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).
As .msi files, deployment of driver and firmware updates is performed in the same manner as deployment of an application. Instead of installing an application as would normally happen when an .msi file is run, the Surface driver and firmware .msi will apply the driver and firmware updates to the device. The single .msi file contains the driver and firmware updates required by each component of the Surface device. The updates for firmware are applied the next time the device reboots. You can read more about the .msi installation method for Surface drivers and firmware in [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates). For more information about how to deploy applications with Configuration Manager, see [Packages and programs in Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/apps/deploy-use/packages-and-programs).
For devices receiving updates through Windows Update, drivers for Surface components—and even firmware updates—are applied automatically as part of the Windows Update process.

>Surface device drivers and firmware are signed with SHA-256, which is not natively supported by Windows Server 2008 R2. A workaround is available for Configuration Manager environments running on Windows Server 2008 R2 – for more information see [Can't import drivers into System Center Configuration Manager (KB3025419)](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3025419).

When you deploy Windows to a Surface device, the push-button reset functionality of Windows is configured by default to revert the system back to a state where the environment is not yet configured. When the reset function is used, the system discards any installed applications and settings. Although in some situations it can be beneficial to restore the system to a state without applications and settings, in a professional environment this effectively renders the system unusable to the end user.
Push-button reset can be configured, however, to restore the system configuration to a state where it is ready for use by the end user. Follow the process outlined in [Deploy push-button reset features](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/deploy-push-button-reset-features) to customize the push-button reset experience for your devices.
