Importing Drivers for Windows 8.1
Now that the drivers are configured for the boot media to enable Surface Pro 3 devices to launch the deployment
process from network boot, the drivers for the operating system need to be supplied. As with WinPE, it is beneficial to
organize the drivers used for different operating systems and models. This helps to avoid conflict where different
models may use different versions of the same driver that are incompatible with one another. Selection profiles will be
used to specify the operating system and the model used.
To import the drivers for the operating system, follow these steps:
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the download location for the Surface Pro 3 drivers.
2. Extract the Surface Pro 3 collection and Surface Pro 3 Pen ZIP archives to a folder on the production deployment
server.
3. Open the MDT Deployment Workbench.
4. Expand the deployment share tree and select the Out-of-Box Drivers folder.
5. Select the New Folder option from the Actions pane to launch the New Folder dialog box.
6. The New Folder dialog box presents the following options:

General Settings – Specify the name Windows 8.1 x64 and any desired comments and then click Next.

Summary – Confirm the specified options and click Next.

Progress – A progress bar will be displayed as the folder is created.
