1.5 Safety recommendation before installation of software
1. Back up your important data (this step should always be done prior to
installing a major update of any software)
2. Update your hardware drivers (the main drivers to update are your video
driver, printer Driver, network card driver)
3. Ensure that all Windows Updates are installed(other than Windows 7,8 or
10 or Windows XP ) , This ensures that all other components are up to
date

1.6 Safety recommendation after installation of software
In addition to fixing security flaws, updates also come in the form of bug fixes
and new features, both of which are also nice to have. We’re going to be talking
about how to keep three major aspects of your PC up to date:
1.Windows. Windows Update has grown more insistent over the years in
keeping itself up to date. In Windows 10, security updates are downloaded and
installed automatically.

3.Hardware Drivers. By and large, keeping hardware drivers up to date is less
a security issue than one of functionality. New driver updates tend to add bug
and stability fixes or, in the case of things like video card drivers, better
performance and functionality with newer games and apps.
Keeping Windows and your third-party apps up to date is arguably the most
critical action you can take to help keep your PC and, by extension, yourself
safe. So let’s get to it.
