Updating the Windows 10 operating system on your laptop is an easy and effective way to make sure your system runs smoothly. When you update Windows 10, your Laptop will have the latest features, bug fixes, and (most important) security patches!
- Fortunately, Windows will periodically check for the latest system updates and install them automatically.
- All you need to do is restart your computer to ensure the updates finish installing.
- As convenient as automatic updates are, there are times when you'll need to manually check for updates twice a month.
Doing so is pretty straightforward, just follow these simple instructions to manually update Windows 10 on your Laptop!
- Select the Start (Windows) button from the bottom-left corner.
2. Go to Settings (gear icon).
3. Select the Update & Security icon
4. Choose the Windows Update tab in the left sidebar (circular arrows)
5. Click the Check for updates button. If there is an available update, it will begin downloading automatically.
To finish the update, you'll need to restart Windows, but you do this later if there's no urgency.
Note, your system will not be equipped with the latest updates until it's been restarted.
