Microsoft has released the April 2023 firmware update for another Surface device. This time, owners of the second-generation Surface Go can download a fresh set of drivers and under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, for a regular customer, the April 2023 update will not sound exciting as it only brings support for the Windows 11 Autopilot management feature.

For those unfamiliar, Windows Autopilot is a cloud-based tool that helps IT Admins deploy, manage, reset, or recycle Windows-based devices. It ensures the end user gets a fully-prepared device with all the necessary settings, policies, and applications. You can learn more about Windows Autopilot in the official documentation.
