Do I need to download all the updates?

I have a T400 at full load, do I have to download all the updates of the Lenovo Support & downloads / downloads and drivers? The question is I know updates are good cause they solve problems, but the thing is there already an update service in the ThinkVantage Toolbox, and yes I have to upgrade my laptop computer from there. Now im downloading updates and drivers manually from the site, I don't want to download a update that will downgrade my laptop because maybe its already up to date, or something.

Any tips?

If you get auto updates, then you are good to go. These are the same updates that are available on the lenovo support site. Now, I know that the automatic updater takes a few days to catch up with the support site, but no reason to constantly check the support site.

  • What happens to my all the updates, if I Re install Win 7 new

    After 3 years, I found that the supporter of Windows 7 (70 GB) is full in my hard drive, can be due to many UPDATES all these years. Because I don't know how to free up space on this drive, I decided to re - install Windows 7 again. In this case, what happens to all my received UPDATES earlier. Do I have to download all the UPDATES again? Help, please

    Yes, you will need to submit a new application of updates after reinstall. However some later updates are in fact replaced by later that the results can be more effective. I also download and manually apply service packs on new construction as allows me to apply the setting "nobackup.

    On the last one I made after that the SPs, I had a little less than 100 updates to apply to the wide then came running clean disk with the option to clean the system files to delete history of update files.

  • How to download all the images in the folder to the column of type BLOB (problem of area to create BLOB)

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 version, I need to download all the images in my local folder to the database at a time table. The problem I face is to create BLOBDomain for each of them?

    Best regards,

    Julien

    If you can access the files, that only works if they are on the server, you can read the file and create the domain of the BLOB in the file directly. The technique is the same as in the blob. Only difference is that you pass the file to the method and open the input stream of the file instead of the UploadedFile.

  • Is it possible to receive all the updates for Windows XP after re-installing?

    I realize that Microsoft no longer make new updates for Windows XP (form apart recent exception), but I was about to run a complete reset of my Windows XP Netbook when I thought to myself "I'll be able to get the updates?"

    So my question is just that, if I turn my Windows XP Netbookreset, it will download all the necessary updates, to the point where Microsoft stopped, making them?

    If not, is there another way to get the updates, I would need, or is it better to not run the factory reset at all.

    Your help is very appreciated,

    Sylar

    Yes, Windows Update will always offer updates for XP that were issued before April 8, 2014.

    There is a catch, however, (which may apply to the vilidjit) - Windows Update won't work for XP, unless service pack 3 is already installed.  It is also possible that it will not work until IE 8 is installed, but I'm less sure of that.

    If your computer is running after a 'restoration provided the factory' earlier level of service pack for XP, you must download and install service packs manually.  If you have no service pack, you need to install sp2 before you install sp3 (if you have sp 1 or sp1a, you don't need sp2).

    If you did a "restore to factory conditions", don't forget to uninstall any free trial of an antivirus program (the free trial period will be long expired).  Use the appropriate removal of the manufacturer of the virus program tool.

  • Pop up and the risks of malware without all the updates

    Hello

    I recently bought a MBP of the retina.

    When I start the MBP I visited directly a website on safari to learn how to use, "debutersurmac.com."

    Updates was not finished (I was downloading El capitan) and a pop up came up with this message (in French):

    "Your MB have been infected...".

    At the bottom right has a button to close",

    I closed safari directly and then I saw the message, had no time to screen printing...

    One moment, the site was in my story, but now is not.

    The name of the site is: //win support error / /...

    Is that what someone did already saw this pop up?

    I did not click on close, but can it be risky to the MBP without all the updates installed?

    On Mac it is possible to see if the Web site installed something?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry for the English, I was not talking since college.

    PS: I just started on Mac 2 hours...

    Force Quit Safari by using the command + Option + ESC keyboard shortcut then restart Safari while holding down the SHIFT key.

    After Safari re lance go in the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data from the Web site then leave then restart Safari.

  • It is important to install all the updates popping up on my computer?

    Installation of updates

    I was wondering if it is important to install all the updates popping up on my computer.  Looks like I get notifications every day!  Is it good or bad to make them... and so good, that I have to do all of them?  What those specifically do I do?  HELP CoffeeAnnie

    You need install all the critical updates in order to preserve the safety of various exploits of hackers and malware from your Vista.  Also called security updates, these loopholes hackers have found to enter your system somehow.  Important updates correct various problems of performance.  All updates are designed to prevent potential problems and enhance your Windows experience.

    Normally, the new updates are available on Windows Update the second Tuesday (aka "Patch Tuesday") of each month.  Occaisionally updates are also available on the fourth Tuesday as well, but the vast majority is released on Patch Tuesday.  The only time when Windows updates are offered to other dates is when an update is critical at the moment, which means that Microsoft has detected an imminent danger of criticism for its users.

    Office updates follow the same pattern.

    There are other Microsoft products including the team out of updates on a different schedule, but who do not concern most users.

    I recommend to use the automatic updates and install programs.  Keep your Windows up-to-date protects your investment in your computer.
