Using the System Update program The System Update program (hereinafter referred to as System Update) provides regular access to system and software updates for your computer to keep your system and software up-to-date. System Update gathers information from the Lenovo Help Center about new updates for your computer. Then System Update sorts and displays each update as critical, recommended, or optional to help you understand the importance. You have complete control of which updates to download and install. After you select the updates you want, System Update automatically downloads and installs the updates without any further intervention from you. System Update is preinstalled on most Lenovo computers and is ready to run. The only prerequisite is an active Internet connection. You can start the program manually, or you can use the schedule feature to enable the program to search for updates automatically at specified intervals. You also can predefine scheduled updates to search by severity (critical updates, critical and recommended updates, or all updates). As a result, the list you choose from contains only those update types that are of interest to you. To open System Update, see "Accessing Lenovo programs on the Windows 7 operating system" on page 15 or "Accessing Lenovo programs on the Windows 8.1 operating system" on page 16. If System Update is not currently installed on your computer, you can download it from the Lenovo Support Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/support Cleaning and maintenance With appropriate care and maintenance your computer will serve you reliably.
