Surface pro 3, i7 processor with 512 GB SSD doesn't come cheap at all. You would expect Microsoft to attend to the need of the buyer first than any other Windows operating system users. Indeed, Microsoft owns the right to the hardware in Surface Pro 3 as well. I can bet my life on it that Windows 9 is coming to Surface Pro 3 as soon as possible.
In your case, no. A very small user base was affected by the bsod's. It is best to leave it as is. Of course if you were to do a fresh install. then the "bad update" would not be available to you.
Funny as it seems that is the reality of it. When is he going to be released from jail? Windows 9 will take some months before it is finally released to the general public.
