How to install Windows 10 updates

Most of the time your operating system does the update automatically for you and all
you have to do is schedule an update restart so that it can begin the installation, but if
you have set your PC to update manually then you have to follow certain procedures.
Step 1: Click the Windows Icon – it is located on the bottom-left of your screen.
Step 2: Click the Settings Icon – it is the next icon from the Power symbol.

Step 3: Click Update & Security

Step 4: Click Download – in the Windows Update panel you will see Updates
available if there are new updates that are waiting to be downloaded and installed.
Click Download button to start downloading and installing these updates.

Step 5: Restart – your PC will ask you to restart your computer so that the updates
will be applied. You may schedule the restart or you may choose to restart right away.
Just make sure that you have saved any work that you are doing or close any program
that is active. Click Restart now to begin. While your computer is working on its
updates, it is advised that you do not turn off the computer or else it will take longer
to start. The update might take a while from a few minutes up to an hour or more
depending on the update package.
Step 5: Up-to-date – after the restart is complete, you will see in your Windows
Update that there are no more updates available for installation.

How to install Device Driver updates

Device drivers allows your computer to access devices that are connected to your
computer. There are cases that when device drivers are not updated, they cause your
computer to go Blue Screen which is a type of error prevents your computer to work
properly. To prevent this, just like the operating system update, your device driver is
automatically updated by your PC whenever new updates are detected. But if you
want to manually update a device driver you have to follow the steps below. In this
case let us update our graphics card which is the AMD Radeon ™ Vega 8 Graphics.

Step 1: Right-Click the Windows Icon – it is located on the bottom-left of your

screen.

Step 2: Click Device Manager

Step 3: Click Display adapters and Right-click AMD Radeon ™ Vega 8 Graphics
Step 4: Click Update driver.

Step 5: Search for driver – the device manager will ask you where to search for the
driver update.
Step 6: You may choose Search automatically for updated driver software if you
want to search online and follow the instructions from the online driver update wizard.

Step 6: if you have a driver software downloaded somewhere in your PC, choose
Browse my computer for driver software and look for the driver software in your
computer. You can also click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my
computer and the computer will show you the compatible hardware for driver
software. Hit the Next button to begin the installation and follow the instructions until
it is finished.
But if you already have the up-to-date driver, the Device manager will tell you that
The best drivers for your device are already installed.
