It’s not enough to be up to date, you have to be up to tomorrow

If we have learned anything from the recent Microsoft Exchange Server hack, it is that you MUST continually update your computer systems, applications, and software on a regular basis.

Why is doing regular patching a challenge?  Why would you procrastinate?

Well, it’s because prevention is less urgent than response.  And when you have a lot to do, the less urgent matters get pushed to the bottom of the list.

However, taking a few minutes once a week to check for updates can save hours, even days, and very likely a LOT of money!  So get in the habit of checking for updates.  Start Today!

To check for updates on your PC, go to <Settings>, click on <Update & Security>.  Select the update and let it run.  You may need to restart your computer once the update is downloaded.

Usually, it will only take a few minutes to update (unless it is a major update).  But whatever amount of time it takes is much shorter than cleaning up a hack or ransomware.  And definitely cheaper!
