Keeping your Win10 machine clean and up-to-date

Updating Windows 10

Checking the installed version

  • Windows+I (open Settings) ⇒ System ⇒ About
    • You will get something like
      Edition:  Windows 10 Pro
      Version: 1809
      OS Build: 17163.76
    • The version number is based on the date of the most recent large build release and uses a YYMM format

Manual update

  • You can manually update Windows 10: Windows+I (open Settings) ⇒ Mise à jour et sécurité ⇒ Check for updates
  • Check for updates, apply the updates, reboot, check for updates again and repeat until there are no more updates available. At that point the installed version of Windows 10 should have the same version number as the latest one in Windows 10 release information

Available versions (history)

Dell specific updates

HP specific updates

See the Installing HP software section and probably only install the BIOS update (if there is one available)

Updating the applications from the Microsoft Store

  • Windows Store ⇒ (in the top right corner)
    • ⇒ Settings: check that the automatic updates are activated
    • ⇒ Download and updates: check if some applications need to be updated (e.g. the Microsoft Store itself)
