Installing software updates
Installing Windows updates
Updates to the operating system and other software may have become available after the computer left the factory. Microsoft sends out 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.
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. From the Start screen, type u, select Settings, and then select Windows Update.
●Enable automatic Windows Update thereafter.
Updating software
HP recommends that you regularly update the software and drivers that were originally installed on your computer. To download the latest versions, go to http://www.hp.com/support. At this location, you can also register to receive automatic update notifications when updates become available.
If you have installed software from other companies, regularly update the software to correct security problems and improve the performance of the software.
