Software updates

Keeping your operating system and applications up to date is one of the best ways to protect yourself from being hacked.

Microsoft provides regular updates for Windows 10.

Windows Update is free and provides the latest security and other important updates from Microsoft automatically (including updates for Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer and Edge).

Automatic updates are turned on by default in Windows 10. Refer to Windows Update for information on how to turn on auto updates for versions.
