No matter what operating system you use, you will always want to have the latest version installed. Hackers work around the clock looking for vulnerabilities; not keeping your computer/device up-to-date is an open invitation to an attack from the outside.
Usually you are alerted when updates are available, but remember to follow through by downloading and installing them because they are designed to protect you from the latest threats.
Want to see if you have any updates available?
1) On a Windows 10 machine: Click on Start (window icon in the lower-left corner of your screen) >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Check for Updates.
2) On your Mac: Click the Apple logo at the top left of your screen >> About this Mac >> Software Update.
Happy Thanksgiving and if you are in the market for a new computer, keep your eyes on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday ads. There will be some great deals BUT read the specs carefully to make sure it is the model you want. :-)
