Installing critical security updates
CAUTION: Microsoft sends alerts regarding critical updates. To protect the computer from security
breaches and computer viruses, install all critical updates from Microsoft as soon as you receive an
alert.
Updates to the operating system and other software may have become available after the computer
was shipped. To be sure that all available updates are installed on the computer, observe these
guidelines:
●
Run Windows Update as soon as possible after you set up your computer. Use the update link at
Start > All Programs > Windows Update.
●
Run Windows Update monthly thereafter.
●
Obtain updates to Windows and other Microsoft
®
programs, as they are released, from the
Microsoft Web site and through the updates link in Help and Support.

being mishandled or stolen.
1. Loop the security cable around a secured object.
2. Insert the key (1) into the cable lock (2).
3. Insert the cable lock into the security cable slot on the computer (3), and then lock the cable lock
with the key.
