I beliebe the new ucode is saved in the initrd which I didn't use. It mighty bei possible to for users having an existing working installation to upgrade kernel and ucode (initrd). But Surface Book users starting from scratch with the live ISO are still faced with an instant freeze which they can't solve with the tools at hand (like additional boot parameter). So this needs to be resolved by some package maintainer responsible for that part of the live ISO. I'll be a willing prey to help testing.
