Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Figure 2-2. Automatic Updates Control Panel

If your company pushes software updates from an enterprise-wide service, like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), you might need to override the default Automatic Update policies for your system.

Typically, WSUS clients are set to install all critical updates at a time specified by the WSUS administrator. The Automatic Update control panel on the client system can be locked to enforce this policy. If the control panel on your system is locked, you must ask the WSUS administrator for permission to modify your update policies.

After you configure Automatic Updates, the utility starts downloading updates in the background. When it displays an icon indicating that updates are ready to install, you can click the icon (Figure 2-3) to see the list of updates that have been downloaded.
