Microsoft Surface Pro no longer receives software updates. Using it online means no more security patches — fine as a spare, risky as a daily driver.

This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Microsoft Surface Pro. 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 Pro in detail

How many years of updates does the Microsoft Surface Pro get?

Can I keep using the Microsoft Surface Pro?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after April 2017 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.
