CHAPTER 8: Maintaining Your Notebook

82

Updating Windows

Windows Update helps you keep your notebook up-to-date. Use Windows Update to choose 
updates for your notebook’s operating system, software, and hardware. New content is added 
to the site regularly, so you can always get the most recent updates and fixes to protect your 
notebook and keep it running smoothly. Windows Update scans your notebook and provides you 
with a tailored selection of updates that apply only to the software and hardware on your 
notebook. Windows Update can also be controlled through the Windows Security Center. For more 
information, see 

“Windows Update” on page 65
