Learning more about Windows

There are several resources available to help you learn to use Windows successfully and keep

Windows Update

Windows Update is a Windows feature that keeps your FlipStart up-to-date with the latest
program updates, security fixes, and new features and accessories from Microsoft. It is very
important to keep your FlipStart up-to-date because potential security risks from malicious
programs can put your personal and financial information at risk.
Windows Update works by occasionally checking in with Microsoft to see if there are new
updates available. You can have Windows Update check automatically, or manually check for
updates when you are connected to a network. It is strongly recommended that you use
automatic updates to ensure the best protection for your FlipStart.
