how do you install it on a surface pro 3?

Surface Pro 3 has only one USB port and it is underpowered for this drive. You must have another USB power source. The Microsoft Charger for the Surface Pro 3 has a USB port. Microsoft Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do not support playing DVDs or Blu Rays. You must buy software to do that.

I've bought this specifically for the surface pro 3. After tinkering around a bit I've set it up like this. What you need to do is plug the power cable into the powered USB port on the surface pro 3 charger and then plug the data transfer cable into the USB port on the surface pro 3. To play blu ray disc I've used Mac Blu-Ray player, to play DVDs I found out you only need to use the data transfer cable to the surface pro 3. Hope this helps.

This piece requires two USB connections, one for power and the other for data transfer. I do not know if Surface Pro3 has two USBs. Also, I am not sure if the Pro3 has the driver for this device.

I have heard rumors that Microsoft does not support USB External DVDS for the Surface Pro 3. I do not have one. I have successfully installed a similar model on a Dell tablet/laptop using Win 8.1.

Not sure, but I have a surface2 and it fits just fine. Not sure if the dimensions are the pro3 are any different.

I have a surface pro 3 that does not fit, so if the surface 2 is smaller, perhaps.

Yes. The monitor definitely works with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. When plugged in for the first time, the Surface will download the necessary DisplayLink drivers. Hope this helps.

Nope. Surface Pro 3 uses an N-Trig while Surface Pro and Pro 2 uses Wacom which is what this Surface Pen is.

I have a regular (separate) keyboard that attaches to the screen - it woks with my setup. I do not have Surface Pro, so I do not know what the difference would be between the "standard" Surface and Pro.

I don't believe so. Not unless Surface Pro 3 has a USB adapter available and I don't think it does.

No, it does not even fit my surface pro 1 very well. Surface pro 3 is a new design. It won't fit.

It works very well with my surface pro 1. I use it in my kitchen with a waterproof keyboard. It does have some adjustability, but do not know if it will fit the surface 3.

So which is it? My understanding is that the Surface 3 has actually been released. I don't want to buy a keyboard that 'almost' fits. (Frankly I can't believe this thing comes without a keyboard.)

Yes it would work but you should use a USB 3.0 device instead since the Surface Pro 3 supports USB 3.0.You can read about the speed differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 here: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/usb5.htm

Connects perfectly with my Surface Pro 1. Try power cycle the RT and then make the RT discoverable and make sure you tap the Bluetooth button on the keyboard.

I don't know if it will work with a Surface Pro 3, but it works with the Surface RT.

I don't see why it shouldn't work. The Surface pro is equipped with a Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP).

I doubt that it will fit a Surface Pro 3. It fits the 2 snugly enough. The Surface Pro 3 is a bit larger.

The Surface Pro 3 is a full PC. You can install any programs compatible with Windows 8.1. So yes, you can install Office 2013.
