Keeping up on your computer updates can ensure your device is both safe and up-to-date on items like drivers that help run accessories like mice, keyboards, and printers. 

There are 2 methods to keep your computer up-to-date and secure:

• Checking Windows Updates
• Using the Software Center

Check for Windows Updates

4.  In the new window, you can see the last time you checked for Updates (A) as well as the

'Check for updates' button (B).

Tip: You can also click the 'Check online for updates from Microsoft Update' to get even more updates to drivers, plugins, and BIOS.

6. The system will now check for an available update.
