With the October 2018 Update finally out in the wild again, Microsoft’s Surface Go has received a ton of firmware updates to support that release.

The firmware update batch is dated November 9, 2018, but I’m pretty sure no one saw these updates until the October 2018 Update was finally re-released this past Tuesday.

No matter. Here’s what’s new:

Given the incredibly slow performance of this PC, you’ll want to budget some time for these updates to install offline.
