    Hi Janet S Lee,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    I understand that you’re in an urgent need of a direct link to the Surface Pro 3 recovery image. However, for Surface, Microsoft does not provide a static link – the correct image can be generated only after validating the device information:

    1. Open the Surface Recovery Image Download page
    2. Scroll down > Select your model: Surface Pro
    3. Enter the serial number > click Continue.
    4. Download the suitable .zip IMAGE.
    5. Extract all files into a USB (16GB + FAT32)
    6. Boot from UEFI and choose Recovery from a drive.

    In case you want to look for Surface Pro 3 driver and firmware separately, check out: Download drivers and firmware for Surface - Microsoft Support. These are the only supported paths to download Surface’s components.

    To reinstall the keyboard and touchpad drivers on your Surface Pro 3, you will need to download the recovery image from Microsoft Support. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a direct download link. You can access the Surface Recovery Image Download page, select your device, input the serial number, and retrieve the correct recovery image for your Surface Pro 3.

    Additionally, ensure that you check for the latest drivers and firmware updates for your Surface device, as these updates can assist in resolving any issues with the keyboard and touchpad functionality.

    When I go to the MS Surface download page, I am directed every time to a Windows installation download. That is not what I need. I need the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad before I can reach installation
