Installing critical updates

CAUTION: Microsoft sends alerts regarding critical updates. To protect the Slate 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 Slate was shipped. To be sure that all available updates are installed on the Slate, observe these guidelines:

Run Windows Update as soon as possible after you set up your Slate. Tap Start > All Programs > Windows Update.

Run Windows Update at regular intervals, such as once a month.

Obtain updates to Windows and other Microsoft programs, as they are released, from the Microsoft Web site and through the Check for updates for your computer link in Windows Update.
