Some versions call this utility Dell Command Update. Other versions are titled Dell Command | Update. Use whichever one you see.

Before running updates, CIT strongly recommends:

• Saving your work.
• Connecting to a power supply (not running on battery power).
• Not turning off the computer until the updates finish.
• Setting aside at least a half hour to do the updates. Not all updates will take this long to install, but some updates are quite large.
• Installing updates within a week of notification. If it is not convenient to install updates when the alert appears, click Remind Later, but do not put it off forever.

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Dell Command Update. It may be inside the Dell folder.
2. In the Dell Command Update Welcome dialog box that opens, click CHECK.
   The utility will scan for available updates. This may take up to a few minutes.  The resulting dialog box will display either This system is up-to-date or show you the available updates.
   1. If your system is up-to-date, click CLOSE. No further action is needed
      
   2. If updates are available, you will see a summary. In almost every case, you will want to leave all updates selected
      

Optional: Click VIEW DETAILS for more information on the available updates.
Click CLOSE to return to the results page.

3. We recommend you leave Automatically restart system (when required) UNchecked. This way your system won't restart until you confirm you are ready.
4. Click INSTALL. The updates will be downloaded and installed.
5. When installation is complete, in the Installation Complete dialog box, you'll see whether or not a reboot is required. If it is, make sure all your work is saved, applications closed, and your computer is plugged in (not on battery power), then click RESTART. If a reboot is not required, click CLOSE.
