Do I need to install all updates or only those most recent?

APRIL 30, 2014

Hi and thanks in advance...

have new laptop asus F550LA (but this model is over a year - and not available on the ASUS site info!) with pre installed windows 8... (I've never used or seen before)...

I followed the 'get started' Wizard etc... and after the internet connection immediately had to update adobe (which i did, I hope, who was allowed to do) then 'windows update' informed me of the 84 updates to download and install (from 01/08/13)...

Optional 4 - asus controller - intel (r) wireless radio management engine interface qualcomm - wireless network adapter - reatek'a gbe family controller hardware

should *I install option?

*do I have to install all updates 84 or? ........

then should *I upgrade to windows 8.1? (keep asking / inform me if I want to - but I need to have the latest updates of window 8 before I do read)

*, MicrosoftOffice 2013 led to install, can I install disk/program before or after the update?

is there a certain order, should I mentioned above?

*other secret advice or reading material links under windows 8 or my request be great!

Please keep in mind "computers are not my forte, but, with great instruction/direction, I'll be gentle, I think... hahahaha seen as I have brand new laptop, I could always restore the back of the news, if is worst worst, yes?" (jk)

Thanks heaps... Lolita

Yes, you must install all of the updates until the Win8.1 is available through shop Windows (not Windows Update). WIN8.1 may not be available or install properly unless & until all prerequisite updates have been installed. Once Win8.1 installed, run a manual check of updates & install all updates security update that may be offered.

MY HUMBLE OPINION...

  • Wait until Win8.1 & updates security all have been installed before installing Office 2013 (if you can wait that long).
  • Get a driver updated your computer really needs on the download page of the manufacturer of the device or the computer only, NEVER through Windows Update.

  • Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

    I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

    Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

    Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.
