Windows updates

If you run Windows on your computer, you should be keeping it up to date.

Okay, you probably have a couple of questions. First may be "What do you mean if I run Windows? Doesn't every computer run Windows?"

Well, no. There are four major operating systems: Windows (the biggest), MacOS (the second biggest), Chrome OS (the new kid on the block), and Linux (the one that runs most servers on the Internet). Most users run Windows.

So, why are updates important? Security. Plain and simple, security. Your operating system is flawed, and updates will keep you safe.

What does this have to do with streaming? If you stream on your Windows computer, then there's your answer. But if you don't stream on your Windows computer, you can still be impacted if your computer is attacked and is taking up bandwidth doing nasty things.

Besides streaming, it's simply a good idea to keep your computer up to date so you don't suffer identiry theft or other nasty things.

My Streaming Life doesn't involve Windows, but I do have a Windows computer, and I keep it safe.
