How to enable a Surface Laptop keyboard, Surface Pro Keyboard, or Surface Pro Type Cover during Windows deployment

This article provides information necessary to enable the keyboard and trackpad on some Surface devices when using a Windows deployment process like System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) operating system deployment (OSD) or other deployment tools.

Tip

When using keyboard drivers for Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Laptop 3 in the same Windows PE boot instance, you might need to manually reset the firmware if the keyboard or touchpad doesn't work in Windows PE:

• Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. If you're connected to a power supply unit (PSU), press and hold the Power button until you see the light at the end of the PSU cord briefly turn off before turning back on.

Important

If you're deploying a Windows 10 image to a Surface Laptop that came with Windows 10 in S mode preinstalled, see KB 4032347, Problems when deploying Windows to Surface devices with preinstalled Windows 10 in S mode.

Download and extract keyboard drivers

1. Download the latest Surface .msi file for your Surface device from the following page: Manage & deploy Surface driver & firmware updates.

2. Extract the contents of the Surface .msi file to a folder that you can easily locate (for example, c:\surface_drivers). To extract the contents, open an elevated Command Prompt window and run the command from the following example:

   msiexec.exe /a SurfaceLaptop_Win10_15063_1703008_1.msi targetdir=c:\surface_drivers /qn
   

Note

Check the extracted .msi package to determine the format and directory structure. The directory structure starts with either SurfacePlatformInstaller (older .msi files) or SurfaceUpdate (newer .msi files) depending on when the .msi file was released.

Import drivers for Surface devices

Import the folders listed for your Surface device. You will need to import these drivers into Windows PE, if you need to use the keyboard or trackpad during early parts of your OS deployment.
