I already told you about the post Windows 8.1 updates that are available for the x86/x64 version of Windows 8.1 RTM and now it is Surface RT’s turn to get some post 8.1 updates as well.
After I got my Surface RT updated to Windows 8.1 one of the first things I did was check Windows Update as there was at least an expected post 8.1 GA Rollup.
I found it interesting that I was once again offered the October firmware update which I had previously installed earlier in the month. I am not sure if that is typical for others updating to 8.1 on Surface RT or not.
Here is the info on the key updates for Surface RT 8.1:
