Common conclusions

Sometimes, a particular version of Windows can slow down your computer because the existing system configuration may not be ideal for that Windows version. For this reason, you have to ensure that your device matches the minimum system requirements laid down by each version of Windows, so you can get the most from it.

If your system has crashed and is not rebooting again or if you have some serious problems that are making it difficult for your computer to boot up, it may be time to format the system completely and install the latest version of Windows. Though many people tend to do this at home, it is best you take it to a professional if you haven't done it before or if you need to backup some crucial data.

Many people tend to ignore software updates and don't bother to install the patches in their system. Unfortunately, this is a big mistake that can make your system vulnerable to attacks. In general, when a computer sends a patch, which is nothing but a piece of code, and asks you to update it on your laptop, it means that there is a security upgrade or that there has been a bug that was identified and fixed. In your interest, you must download these updates and install them on your system.

If you're unsure whether your Windows operating system is up-to-date or not, go to the Start button and click All Programs ->Windows Update.

When you buy a new laptop, it usually comes with Microsoft Windows installed in it. But if you're assembling your own computer or wanted to buy one at a low price, you may not have WIndows installed in it in which case, you'll have to install it. Sometimes, laptops are available at a low price when they use an older version of Windows. If you have bought such a laptop, you can always buy a new Windows operating system and install it on your computer.

If you're moving from another operating system like Linux to Windows, you would have to install the Windows operating system, While doing this, ensure that your system requirements meet the ones laid down by this version of the operating system.

You don't have to update unless you want to move from the earlier version to the next one.
