Laptop Software Update

If you have not done a Software Update on your laptop lately, you need to complete this task soon and regularly.  1 reason is it keeps your computer up-to-date and working properly, but another reason is that it provides new features for the laptop and for the applications.
To complete your Software Update, which should be checked at least 1 time a week, you click on the Black Apple in the upper left-hand corner of the laptop and go 2 down and click on Software Update.

It will either state that the latest software is installed or it will give you a list of software to update.  If it lists software, could be just 1 or as many as 10, click install and let it do its work. Most of the times, your computer will need to be restarted after the installation of the new items.

Some things to consider:
The Software Update has to be done while at school using the Schools wireless Internet
Allow time for the installation of the software and for the restarting of the computer to take place.  A good time would be to start the installation when you leave your room for lunch, or when you are teaching a class/period where you do not need your laptop.
