SOFTWARE UPDATES
Utilization of the most up to date OS software version and patches will provide the
best possible defenses against viruses and malware.
Periodic Check for Software Updates
Windows will periodically look for and apply critical patches and security updates.
Allows your system, during the initial setup of the system, to automatically update,
this will provide the most secure user environment.
Please make sure to allow the system to apply updates within a reasonable time
frame from when installed.
To access Windows Update, start by clicking on the “Start Button” and selecting the
Gear Icon (Settings) on the left side of the menu.
1. Once you are in the “Windows Settings” window, click on the “Update & Security”
tab.
2. You should now be at the “Windows Update” screen. You can visit this page and
click on the “Check for updates” button to see if your system needs updates.
3. We highly recommend checking Windows Updates often as security is extremely
important.
Periodic Update of Device Drivers
It is good practice to keep an eye out for updating device drivers. Although some
components use utilities to give you a heads up when an update is ready, that is not
always the case for drivers. Device drivers play a crucial role in the smooth
functionality of your PC. We recommend visiting the manufacturer’s website to get the
latest stable drivers.
