First published on TECHNET on Feb 29, 2016
We have new updates for Surface Pro 4, Surface Book and Surface Pro 3 devices.

Starting this month, you may also notice a new file naming structure for these updates. With more and more customers choosing Surface for their organizations, we’re making this change to provide a consistent customer experience across multiple release mechanisms (like Windows Update and DLC).
You’ll start to notice this name change this month on some devices, with others to follow in the coming weeks.
