Updating your laptop

Hale Pahana Kipaepae

Please follow these steps below, read carefully

BEFORE YOU START YOUR UPDATE:

Closing the window by clicking on the red dot in the corner is not quitting the application.  Make sure to quit by selecting the application name at the top left and click on the quit option at the bottom of the dropdown.

When you see this 👉🏽, it's time for an update.  PLEASE NOTICE:

•  The current OS (Operating System) you are on

•  The required OS you need to update to

•  How many days you have left to complete the update


Click on the Update Device button and it will take you the Software Update Window.

NOTE: If you need to "defer" (delay) the update for now, you can find the update window at any time in your System Settings > General > Software Update. This is the same window that the nudge will take you to.

It is YOUR KULEANA to NOT miss the deadline for your update.

If you miss the deadline, this Update Nudge screen will continue to pop up and you will not be able to easily remove it from your screen.

2. Software Update Window

Whether you click the "Update Device" button on the nudge window or go through your "System Settings" on your own, you'll see this window.


DO NOT click on the "Upgrade Now" button. 

Look below and click on "More Info..."

3. Other Updates Available

This window will open up and show you the updates available for you to install.  This should match the Required OS you noticed in step #1, on the nudge window.  

Once you've checked that they match, click 

"Install Now."

If they don't match, email Mrs. Ortiz for help.

4. Type in your Password

You should be asked to type in your password.  After you have entered your password, your update should begin loading and restart on its own.  

5. Be Patient
