Should you upgrade to Windows 10 October 2018?

I understood. You are satisfied with the current version of Windows. It works. You know where things are. You have no immediate need or desire for new features. And you feel that the installation of updates is somewhere between awkward and painstaking.

Microsoft is ready to go out Windows Update October 10, 2018 soon – next month if his name is an indication – and I recommend you to install it. Not necessarily for new features, although some look promising, such as the use of machine learning to make the installation of updates less boring since we are on the subject. No, you need to update as this will allow you and your PC to stay safer.

Stay up to date and secure

There are two types of Microsoft updates: Feature Updates and Quality Updates:

• Feature updates add new features and features and are typically published twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall. Windows 10 October 2018 Update is a feature update.
• Quality updates provide security and reliability fixes and are released monthly, usually in the form of Tuesday, the second Tuesday of each month.

At each update, Microsoft fixes known security vulnerabilities. If you do not stay up to date, you expose yourself to malicious people exploiting Windows vulnerabilities to access your PC and your data. I do not want to sound alarmist, but hackers target Windows more frequently than other platforms for the simple fact that they get more for their money. The number of systems running Windows surpasses that of MacOS, Linux and Chrome OS combined.

Keeping up to date with Windows updates is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself. And if you think installing Windows updates is a problem, it's certainly less painful than being infected with malware or being hacked.

How to check for updates

Windows 10 automatically downloads and installs updates to secure and update your PC, but you can also do it manually. Open Settings, Click on Update and security. You should watch the Windows Update page (otherwise, click Windows Update from the left pane). If an update is not already installed, click the button. Check for updates button to check for yourself.

A good argument can be made to delay an update for a few days or weeks in order to make sure that Microsoft is able to solve all the problems. Learn How to delay the installation of Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
