I selected the AutoUpDate feature and just let the machine have itself updated whenever Mr.Gates thinks it needs it.
YMMV
LOL..I do too, but Al doesn't deal with that stuff well so he just shuts it down when they come up. I have to go back and get it all later. ;)
He could probably build me a puter, but he knows nothing about the everyday affairs of one. IE and google...that's about it, lol.
Anyway, he'd much rather be outside. He just bought himself and new John Deere. Our son getting a house helped him decide. This one won't have a snow-blower and have a wider path..;)
Oops, that reminds me.. I have to go and install his new virus-scan too.
