  1. Click Start, then Settings (the gear).
  2. Click Windows Update. On Windows 10, click Update & Security, then Windows Update.
  3. Click Check for updates. Wait while Windows looks. It can take a few minutes.
  4. If it asks you to restart, save your work first, then click Restart now. Do not turn the computer off while it says Installing or Updating.

Updates keep your computer safe and working well.
