Looks like a new driver package was released last week:

It is a complete package with the dGPU drivers included.

The GPU drivers are in the Surface Book default/recovery image.

Something like C:\Program Files\Nvdia\Installer32\Video.Driver{}

Disable Hyper-V to stop the screen flickering.

Thanks,

Subject: [mssms] OSD - Surface Book

I was handed a surface book today to get prepped for OSD.

I downloaded the driver package from Microsoft:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49497

It doesn't seem fully baked just yet. The description talks about a .zip 
archive that contains all of the drivers, but only an MSI is provided. If you 
install the MSI on a surface book then all of the drivers and firmware will 
extracted to C:\Program Files 
(x86)\SurfacePlatformInstaller\SurfaceBook_Win10_151027_0. I tried to extract 
the drivers on my Surface Pro 3 and learned you can only run the MSI on a 
Surface Book.

I copied all the drivers up to my content share and created a driver package. 
It would seem that the Ethernet drivers are the same for the new dock as they 
were for the Surface Pro 3 so I did not have to update my boot images.

I learned afterwards that the driver package from Microsoft did not include the 
NVidia GPU drivers... those also did not come down with Windows Update and do 
not appear anywhere on the Microsoft site. You cannot use drivers directly from 
NVidia so I'm pretty much stuck without the GPU at this point.

I have noticed some odd bugs with this device. Detaching the screen causes some 
weirdness with the keyboard once reattached. I also noticed that if you have 
the device docked and you detach/reattach the screen that it will not resume 
charging. You have to reseat the surface connector from the dock to get it to 
start charging again.

Overall the engineering of the thing is beautiful. Hopefully the bugs get 
worked out in the future.
