Why Should I Install Updates?
Software updates perform a number of important tasks. They are available for both our operating system and individual software programs. Regularly checking for and performing these updates will deliver a multitude of revisions to your computer, tablet, or mobile device, such as adding new features, removing outdated features, updating drivers, delivering bug fixes, and most importantly, fixing security vulnerabilities. Even though these software updates seem like a hassle, think of it as a preventative measure for your Internet safety.
