In my job I have been updating a few docking stations with fresh firmware. Personally I find it to be a nice little routine to keep the firmware and software up to date, like putting things to order.
For example there is firmware for both Lenovo and Dell docking stations, and keeping that in mind I was looking for a way to update the firmware for my Surface Dock 2.
Updating your Surface Dock 2:
The easy way is to use the Surface app, downloadable from the Microsoft Store.
After installing it and opening it, you get an easy to use menu. You can interact with your dock, mouse and pen for example.
By clicking clicking on the dock you can make sure that your firmware is up to date. There you can also turn different ports on and off.
For someone that would need a manual update, it seems like Microsoft offers a few versions as well, based on your device.
Updating your Surface Pro 7 drivers:
You can also update the driver kit with a roughly 600 mb sized file with all the drivers.
To download it go here.
Running a diagnostic toolkit to identify errors:
You might also want to grab the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit, it let's you test the functionality of your device, a great tool for singling out various issues that you might have with your computer.
To get the toolkit, go to this link.
Now you have been provided with some simple and easy to access tools to service your device.
