Surface Go with LTE support will no longer have firmware updates

The original Surface Go with LTE support, which launched in November 2018, has reached the end of its support. This means, as of today, Microsoft will no longer provide firmware updates as well as drivers for its first-generation entry-level Surface with support for an operator card.

Microsoft traditionally provides four years of active support for each Surface device, and the period begins when a device goes on sale. However, some Surface devices have had significantly longer lifecycles. For example, Microsoft supported the Surface Pro 3 for almost twice as long.

The next Surface computer to reach the end of its life is the second-generation Surface Laptop - Microsoft will no longer support it starting December 27, 2022.

It's worth noting that Windows updates are separate from firmware updates, which means your Surface Go with LTE will continue to receive OS updates, patches, and new features.

Unfortunately, the original Surface Go doesn't support Windows 11, but it works perfectly fine with Windows 10, which will remain supported until 2025. The latter recently received Update 22H2 with "a limited set" of productivity features.
