Updating your operating system

Microsoft makes updates available for various operating systems through the
Microsoft Windows Update Web site. The Web site automatically determines
what Windows updates are available for your specific computer and lists those
updates only. Updates could include security fixes, new versions of Windows
components (such as media player), fixes to other portions of the Windows
operating system, or enhancements.
For details about updating your operating system, refer to the Lenovo Care
program.

Installing other operating systems

If you install your own operating system, follow the instructions that come
with your operating-system CDs or diskettes. Remember to install all device
drivers after you install your operating system. Installation instructions are
usually provided with the device drivers.

Updating your antivirus software

Your computer comes with the Norton Internet Security software you can use
to detect and eliminate viruses. You should run the LiveUpdate application to
get the latest updates from the Norton AntiVirus Web site. LiveUpdate will
download the latest virus list and Norton Internet Security will use the new
list when it scans your computer the next time.
For more details about updating your antivirus software, refer to the Lenovo
Care program.

settings and passwords.
