Recent reports have suggested that the Surface Pro 4 will be Windows 10 ready at its launch in 2015, which has Surface Pro 3 users worrying about an upgrade. However, in a blog post by Microsoft Surface General Manager Brian Hall, he said Surface Pro 3 users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10.

The Surface Pro 3, which has become popular, has been increasingly used in organizations that want its employees to have the advantages of a tablet and a laptop, when they are on the move. Microsoft has been increasingly targeting companies to make further inroads in this market.

Brian Hall went on to say that Microsoft is willing to help IT departments upgrade to Windows 10 when it comes time to do so. However, they will also continue to support Windows 8.1 if the company decides to stick with that operating system.

On that note, techies are wondering whether or not that type of upgrade will be a free one. There's a chance that the Windows 10 upgrade on the Surface Pro 3 will be possible through OTA, Windows Store, and Windows Server Update Services.

Windows 10 users will receive updates and security patches and have the option to delay or disable the non-critical updates completely.

The advantage of Windows 10 is that it will provide the option of either a touch mode or a key/mouse mode. This is especially useful when the user wants to attach the laptop to the docking station and enable it as a desktop.

The user interface will be different for Enterprise and Consumer as usual, with the emphasis on building a consumer base for its online services and applications.
