Creating the Surface Pro 3 Win 8.1 x64 Selection Profile
In a production deployment share with multiple makes and models of computers, there may incompatible drivers
available. You need to ensure that only Surface Pro 3 drivers are deployed to Surface Pro 3 devices. The mechanism to
specify which drivers are to be deployed to specific computers is to configure another selection profile, by following
these steps:
1. Expand the Advanced Configuration folder of the deployment share.
2. Select the Selection Profiles folder.
3. Select New Selection Profile from the Actions pane to launch the New Selection Profile Wizard.
4. The New Selection Profile Wizard shows the following options:

General Settings – Specify the name Surface Pro 3 Win 8.1 x64 for the selection profile and any desired
comments, then click Next.
Note: Though the Surface Pro 3 supports only Windows 8.1 Update 64 bit, it is recommended to include the
operating system and architecture in all model selection profile names to allow for separate selection
profiles for each model, operating system, and architecture.

Folders – Expand the deployment share tree, the Out-of-Box Drivers folder, and the Windows 8.1 x64
subfolder, and then check the box next to the Surface Pro 3 folder as shown in Figure 3.23.
