Routine Computer Updating
Our Senior Center laptops need to be used on a monthly basis in order to remain useful, therefore we are going to put them to use.


We will be doing the Class on the "Second Tuesday"of each month using the 
Senior Center Laptops. We will update them first. 

Select one you like and select a power cord, mouse pad and a mouse and setup the laptop for the class session. You can update your computer afterward at home.

1. Power up the laptop to the "Desktop" screen.

2. Double click the AVG icon.







 
and check if it is "Updating". 






If it says "Protection is up to date", Double click on it anyway and "Wait" until it changes back to:   "Protection is up to date". 







3. Click the "Start Button"








Click "All Programs" 





Click "Windows  Update". 


















If there are Updates, Click on "Install". You may be asked to 
"Restart" the computer. Do that and wait for the computer to return to 
the "Desktop" screen.

If you get this message your PC is up to date.
