Problem
"I need to upgrade the Windows operating system on my Cal Poly PC."
"I keep getting a pop-up window on my state-owned computer that says I must reactivate Windows. How do I download the license activation key?"
Solution
To install Windows upgrades:
- From the Start Menu, click Settings.
- Click Update & Security.
- Click Check online for updates from Microsoft Update.
If there are updates, once they are finished installing, click the Restart now button. Updates will disappear once installed unless a restart is needed.
If you see a Pending restart message next to an update, you may need to run updates more than once.
