8 Maintaining your computer
Updating programs and drivers
HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis to the latest versions.
Updates can resolve issues and bring new features and options to your computer. Technology is
always changing, and updating programs and drivers allows your computer to run the latest
technology available. For example, older graphics components might not work well with the most
recent gaming software. Without the latest driver, you would not be getting the most out of your
equipment.
There are two ways you can obtain updates for your computer:
● Go to http://www.hp.com/support to download the latest versions of HP programs and drivers. In
addition, register to receive automatic update notifications when they become available.
● Set your computer to receive automatic updates.
To set your computer to receive free automatic Ubuntu updates:
1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click Software up to
Date.
2. In the Update Manager window, click the Check button to check for new software updates.
3. Click the box on the right of the updates to indicate which updates are to be installed, and then
click the Install Updates button.
4. Click Close after the updates have been installed.
NOTE: To change the settings for software updates, click the Settings button on the bottom of
the Update Manager window.
