Update That Thang Girl!

See, your computer runs at its best when its hardware and software are updated with the latest improvements from its creators. Updating Windows or Mac OS X can fix a plethora of common problems. The same goes for updating your PC’s hardware drivers.

Updating your stuff will vary depending on the type of operating system you’re using. If you’re using Windows XP, you’ll want to head over to http://update.microsoft.com in Internet Explorer. While there, select the ‘Custom’ button. This will allow you to choose exactly what you want. When it’s finished scanning, make sure you have all the high priority updates checked. After that, you’ll want to click on the Hardware optional link and check each hardware update. Lastly, click finalize and install.

If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7, your life will be a little easier. All you need to do is head to your Windows Update section found here:

Start > Control Panel > System & Security > Windows Update

The high priority updates should be selected and installed automatically. Below the update status will be a link for optional updates. This is where your hardware updates are found.

Now if you’re a Mac user, updating your computer’s software and hardware is as simple as going to the Apple Icon and clicking Software Updates. It’s rough. We hope you can handle that by yourself.

Once you’re done with all your yummy updates, you’ll probably be asked to restart. After the reboot, sit back and enjoy a skinnier, better looking computer… without the plastic surgery.
