Installing software updates
HP, Microsoft Windows, and third-party software installed on your computer should be regularly
updated to correct security problems and improve software performance.
Installing Windows security 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. Select
Start
>
All
Programs
>
Windows Update
.
●
Run Windows Update monthly thereafter.
●
Obtain updates to Windows and other Microsoft programs, as they are released, from the
Microsoft website and through the updates link in Help and Support.
Installing HP and third-party software updates
HP recommends that you regularly update the software and drivers that were originally installed on
your computer. To download the latest versions, go to the HP website. For U.S. support, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/contactHP
. For worldwide support, go to

wwcontact_us.html
. At this location, you can also register to receive automatic update notifications
when they become available.
If you have installed third-party software after you purchased your computer, regularly update the
software. Software companies provide software updates to their products to correct security problems
and improve functionality of the software.
