Windows 7 Upgrade Center: Why Do I Need and What Gives?

With the advent of the "seven" in the light came out and the so-called Windows 7 update center. Today we will talk about what it is, what it allows to do and how to use it correctly.

What is it?

The first thing to talk about is what is behind the built-in program, this Windows 7 update center.

The fact is that time does not stand still. Operating systems, as a rule, constantly need improvements and various additions that simplify the work with them. Thus, constantly buying newer versions of the OS that you already have is a useless thing. No one will agree to it. So Microsoft decided to create a Windows 7 update center, which allows you to download all sorts of "updates" for the system. Some of them can be quite useful, and some - not very. Let's talk in more detail about what can be found in this center and how to use it correctly.

First start

Even during the first installation of "semesterochki" you have a default update center installed. This is a mandatory program that must be present. You can say the built-in function, which can not be avoided anywhere.

When you first start it, you will need to update the Windows 7 Update Center. All you need to do is connect your computer to the Internet. The rest of the system will do it yourself. Updating Windows Update 7 occurs automatically. Typically, the process does not take more than 10 minutes of time. Quite fast and convenient.

After the update of Windows 7 Update Center is completed, the program will restart - the user will be able to fully work with it. However, you do not need to disconnect from the Internet - it is still useful to you. Now you can take advantage of all the features and capabilities of the update center. However, to once again it does not make you nervous or distract you, it needs to be properly set up. Let's see what can be done.

Tuning is the key to success

So, now let's see how the proposed center is configured. Its each user "customizes" for himself. So, how convenient it is to him. So, let's begin our study.

Open Windows Update 7. It is in the tray, near the clock. Open the service, and then click on "Settings". Before you pop a window in which all manipulations will take place.

You can disable the center to disable Windows 7 Update Center. To do this, click the corresponding button on the screen. Usually it is highlighted in red (more precisely, a shield) and the signature "not recommended." Do not be afraid of this inscription. You can always check for updates yourself at any time. Then, when it will be convenient for you. In addition, the fact that you turn off the center does not mean that automatic checks can be forgotten - you can turn on this feature at any time.

You can also enable the ability to check for updates automatically and all of them installed. To do this, click on the required inscription. It is highlighted in green and this color is a shield near the inscriptions. Here you can set up and check time, and what updates to put. But more on that later.

In addition, Windows 7 Update Center can be configured so that it will only check for updates, but you will take charge of installing and downloading them. It is quite convenient, however, not always. For example, a verification message can come out when you watch a video or movie directly on top of the player. If you decide to check for updates automatically, but download and install them yourself, then, best of all, set the "validation time" so that it does not interfere with you.

What are the updates?

After we studied the settings and adjusted them to you, you need to figure out what can be found in the Windows 7 update center and which of the available new features should be put almost in the order.

If you open the update window working window, you will see that all files are divided into "additional" and "important" files. The first ones are basically language packs and some drivers for the connected devices. The second are important system "updates" that help to protect the system, important drivers for comfortable work with the computer and fixes that allow getting rid of bugs and lags.

However, you need to carefully look at what to download to your computer and what not. Do not even "important" updates to download and install everything without fail. The only thing that can be useful to find among them is language packs and drivers for work. Just "firewood" is usually separated by a line above all updates and they are written in italics.

Underwater rocks

Unfortunately, the Windows 7 update center can lead to the crash of the operating system. It's all about some "updates" that check the "axis" for authenticity. If it is not confirmed, then, as a rule, work with Windows is much more difficult already at the first reboot.

So, try not to download packages of "fixes" that might look like "K26587528". In other words, wherever there is a beginning in the form of "k" and some character set after it, a "test" file may be contained. Install it only if your computer is equipped with a license "Windows". Otherwise, check only what you really need, then wait for them to load and automatically install on your PC.
