Operating system updates always seem to arrive at the worst moment, and it is tempting to keep putting them off. Here is why letting them run is worth the small interruption.
The biggest reason. Updates patch the holes that viruses and hackers use. An unpatched system is a soft target.
Updates fix bugs that cause crashes, freezes and glitches. A machine that keeps falling over is often just one behind on updates.
Updates often include quiet improvements that make the system run a little smoother and faster.
New apps and devices expect a reasonably current system. Fall too far behind and things simply stop working.
Updates bring genuine improvements too, not just fixes. You paid for the machine, you may as well get the benefits.
Once an operating system is out of support, like Windows 10 now, it stops getting security updates entirely. That is the point to upgrade rather than soldier on.
