Computer & Software and Updates computer, connection, download, downloading, memory, software, speed, Updates 12:07 pm
Be prepared during large software updates for any computer to “run” slower than normal. If you are on a limited or “fair share” internet connection, it may be a good idea to let the update run without placing any other usage demands on it until download is complete. Above all – try not to be frustrated.
