Sign into your account3 Reasons to Install Software Updates (And How to Do It)
October 13 2011
Our Director of Development is a patient man. Here’s a scenario we play over again and again. Me: “Chris, it’s pinwheeling again!” Chris: “Did you install your updates?” Me: “Oh . . . uh . . . never mind.” You see, I have a very bad habit – I don’t install my computer updates. And I’m not alone.
The ever-patient Chris has educated me about why it’s important to install updates and even how to do it. If you’re tired of your computer running slowly and, oftentimes, freezing-up, I highly recommend you follow these steps. But first, let’s talk about why you should install your updates.
Why Update?
Simply put, software updates are essential if you want to keep using your computer.
- Despite all the Q.A. testing that goes into developing software, problems are inevitable. Over time, these flaws rear their ugly heads and the software developer must fix them. How? Well, if it’s not time to release the next version, they provide an update.
- Even if there isn’t a problem with the software, an upgrade may be required in order to give you access to cool new features.
- Updates may provide “plugs” for security holes that appear.
