It’s important that we all ensure our computers are updated by doing the Windows 10 update
We have an updated Windows 10 build (20H2) that includes security and app updates. All staff should check to see if the update is available to install. We all must ensure our computers are updated with the version of Windows that is supported by Microsoft.
The update will take upto 90 mins, so it is recommended that you do this at the end of the day to run after hours, or while you are out at a meeting.
This is a mandatory requirement, please action by Sunday 31 July 2022.
Windows 10 update ‘how to’
Before you do the install (document with steps linked below), make sure you…
- Save and close any files that are open, before you begin the update
- If you have any files (documents, images etc) saved to your Desktop or on your local drive, you will need to save these in your shared drive or in OneDrive (refer to the ‘how to use One Drive instructions on the right) – if you don’t you could lose these files during the update process
- Do not access or shut down your computer once the update process is underway – leave it to run until it is complete
- During the update process your computer will reboot several times – this doesn’t mean it is finished – wait for the login screen to pop up then you are OK to log back on
Follow the steps in this Windows Self Service Upgrade, it’s easy to follow and will only take a few minutes.
