Windows 10 on Surface Pro 3 Fail

[PilotGav]

I just did a clean install of Win10 and half the devices, including WiFi are failing in Device Manager.

How is this even possible? Lol.

Any ideas?

Don't know what went wrong there. Here's mine:

@sharpcolorado - Is that your result from a clean install to a new partition, or did you upgrade your existing installation? My result doing a clean install (in an attempt to dual boot) was precisely the same as @PilotGav's.

I wiped my entire drive. Please don't tell me Win10 can't handle a fresh install on Microsoft's own hardware?!

Can you try getting it to update drivers from Windows Update site ?
You may have to use a USB to ethernet but its a possible solution

My install was an upgrade - but then I also experimented with a wipe. The wipe worked just fine (See post #88 of Windows 10 on Surface Pro 3 (page 5)

Keep in mind this is s Customer Preview, more alpha than beta. Don't expect it to act like a release product.

I don't expect it to act like a release product. I do expect it to include drivers for a Surface Pro.

Since you initially did an upgrade I wonder if it copied the drivers into the recovery partition... must have..
