How to Windows installs or notifies you about updates In Windows 7

You can set Windows to automatically install important and recommended updates or to install important updates only. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. Recommended updates can address noncritical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically. To learn more about the types of updates that Microsoft publishes, go to this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Help and Support website.

If you don't want updates to be installed automatically, you can choose to be notified when updates apply to your computer instead. Then, you can download and install them yourself, or you can set Windows to automatically download updates, and then notify you so you can install them yourself. Here's how to change how Windows installs or notifies you about updates:
Click to open Windows Update.
In the left pane, click Change settings.
Under Important updates, click one of the following:
Install updates automatically (recommended)
Download updates but let me choose whether to install them
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
Never check for updates (not recommended)
To schedule your automatic updates, next to Install new updates, select the day and time you want updates to occur.

To get recommended updates for your computer, under Recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box.
To allow anyone using the computer to make updates, select the Allow all users to install updates on this computer check box. This applies only to updates and software that are installed manually; automatic updates will be installed regardless of the user.
Click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Important

If your computer is in hibernation at a scheduled time, installation will begin immediately the next time you start your computer. You will receive a message that asks you if you want to postpone the installation. Click the message and follow the instructions to set how long you want Windows to wait.
If you turn off automatic updating, make sure you check for new updates regularly. For more information, see Install Windows updates.

Microsoft offers an extension to Windows Update called Microsoft Update. This service allows you to get updates for other Microsoft products, as well as receive notices of new Microsoft software that you can download and install for free. Here's how to get updates and notices about new software:
Click to open Windows Update.
If you've never checked for updates before, in the left pane, click Check for updates. Wait for Windows Update to finish checking for updates.
In the Windows Update dialog box, click Find out more under Get updates for other Microsoft products. Follow the steps on the screen to start using Microsoft Update.
In the left pane, click Change settings.
Under Microsoft Update, select the Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows check box.
To get notifications of new Microsoft software, select the Show me detailed notifications when new Microsoft software is available check box.
Click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

BIOS: Basic Input Output System In your computer


BIOS is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. BIOS is part of your computer's hardware and is separate from Windows.

Do I need to do anything with BIOS?

No, BIOS doesn't need to be managed and you don't need to change any settings. Advanced users might choose to change certain settings, such as the order the computer searches devices when starting.

What kind of BIOS does my computer have?

You can view general information about your computer's BIOS in System Information.
Click to open System Information.
Click System Summary in the left pane, and then look under BIOS Version/Date in the right pane to view the BIOS manufacturer, version number, and the date the BIOS was released. For specific information about the BIOS used by your computer, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.

How do CMOS and ACPI relate to BIOS?

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) refers to a chip inside your computer that saves your BIOS settings. As a result, the terms CMOS and BIOS are sometimes used interchangeably. For more information, see What is CMOS?

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an industry standard that defines power management features and other configuration information for computers. Some previous versions of BIOS don't support ACPI, and so the computer might not successfully enter advanced power modes such as sleep or hibernate. For more information, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.

How do I access my computer's BIOS?

Procedures vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Usually, you must press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) or a key combination immediately after you turn on your computer before Windows starts. For more information, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.

How do I update BIOS?

Procedures vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. If you think you need to update your BIOS, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.

Warning
Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to change a setting that could prevent your computer from starting correctly.
Updating BIOS should only be done if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperable. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.
