Microsoft has released version 10 of the Windows operating system. Whenever a new operating system is released, we start gathering as much information as we can as to how your current software and hardware will interact with the new OS. While some companies stay ahead of the game and resolve any issues right away, others may take a while longer.

<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo avoid any problems that may arise when you update to the newest Windows OS, we recommend you proceed with caution and do some research about the compatibility between the software and hardware you rely on every day and Windows 10.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Windows 10 updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re new to Windows 10 or are thinking about upgrading from an older version, there are a few things you need to know about Windows updates. Approximately every six months, Microsoft will release what\u2019s called a Feature Update<\/em>. These updates often add new features, fix bugs, and improve the overall performance of the operating system.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is usually a good thing, but sometimes, an update can cause compatibility issues with your audio software or hardware drivers. This can be a headache, especially if you\u2019re working on projects. While you can pause <\/em>updates, it\u2019s only for a certain amount of time. Once that time is up, you\u2019ll be required to install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nCheck for Windows 10 updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since these feature updates are released every six months (typically in March and September<\/em>), it\u2019s always good practice to check for Windows 10 updates periodically. Checking is simple, too. All you need to do is click the Windows <\/strong>icon on the toolbar, type Updates<\/em>, then click Check for updates<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nBacking up your files: <\/strong>If a new Feature Update is available, it\u2019s always good practice to back up your files. While these updates won\u2019t delete your personal files, backing everything up will give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
