Surface devices deliver chipset support inside a combined driver and firmware pack that Microsoft maintains per model, rather than as a separate chipset installer. Much of it also arrives through Windows Update, so keeping the system current usually keeps the platform drivers in step. If you need to refresh manually, install the Surface pack built for your exact device.
Microsoft Surface Platform Drivers at a glance

Worth knowing: Surface devices use a combined driver and firmware pack from Microsoft.
DriverHub US does not host driver files or bundle an updater. This page documents the Microsoft Surface Platform Driversfamily; its citations are selected from the package-source policy recorded for this family.
The family record names Surface driver and firmware pack, Windows Update as the package source. Match the package to the exact Microsoft Surface Platform Drivers device signals on this page and to Windows 10, Windows 11. A family name alone is not enough when the publisher separates packages by model, hardware revision, or PC configuration.

AMD
This is AMD's platform package for Ryzen desktop systems, covering current Socket AM4 and AM5 chipsets on self-built and prebuilt machines. Beyond naming the board's controllers, it installs the AMD processor power plan and the boost driver, so leaving it out means the CPU does not run as designed. On a self-built PC take the current package from AMD or your board maker; on a prebuilt, prefer the system maker's validated version.
AMD
Threadripper is AMD's high-end desktop and workstation platform, with its own sockets and chipsets separate from mainstream Ryzen. The chipset package handles the larger array of PCI Express lanes these boards expose along with the platform's power and storage controllers. Because the socket and chipset differ from consumer Ryzen, use the Threadripper-specific package rather than the mainstream one, matched to your exact board.
Intel
This is Intel's chipset naming file, the utility that labels the platform's PCI devices so Windows loads the correct driver for each controller. It is the first thing to install on an Intel system after Windows, because until the controllers are named, later drivers attach to generic, unidentified devices. It does not add features on its own; it makes the rest of the platform legible to Windows.
Intel
The Management Engine interface driver connects Windows to a small typically-on subsystem on Intel platforms that handles power management and certain platform features. It is a companion to the chipset naming file and is frequently required alongside it for stable sleep and resume. Install it from the same source as the chipset package, matched to your board or system, rather than as a standalone afterthought.
Intel
Rapid Storage Technology is Intel's storage controller and RAID driver for supported chipsets, governing how NVMe and SATA drives connect to the platform. On boards configured for RAID or Optane-style acceleration it is essential, and even on single-drive systems it can improve how storage is presented to Windows. Match the version to your chipset, and make sure the firmware storage mode agrees with how the driver expects the drive to be installed.
ASUS
These are the chipset packages ASUS validates for its motherboards, bundling the AMD or Intel platform driver with board-specific utilities and descriptors. For a self-built PC with an ASUS board, this tested package is a safer choice than the raw silicon-vendor file because it matches your exact model and revision. Read the board name from the silkscreen and select the corresponding download.
