This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Microsoft Surface Go. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Microsoft Surface Go in detail
How many years of updates does the Microsoft Surface Go get?
Released in August 2018, the Microsoft Surface Go received security patches until August 2022: 4 years in total.
Among the 60 Microsoft tablets in our database, 0 were supported for less time and 55 for longer. The median is 6 years.
Across all brands, the median for tablets is 6 years.
The last patch came out 4 years and 2 months ago.
Can I keep using the Microsoft Surface Go?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after August 2022 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
