Windows 7 critical security updates
Microsoft continually updates the Windows 7 operating system.
After you complete the initial computer setup, you might want to install additional
software programs or hardware devices. Check the operating system, memory,
and other requirements listed before purchasing new software or hardware for
your computer. Follow the software manufacturer's directions to install the new
software.
NOTE: Use only licensed original software. Installing copied software could
result in an unstable installation, infect the computer with a virus, or be illegal.
Security solutions can deter theft, mishandling, and software attacks, but cannot
prevent them.

1. Connect the hardware as shown on the setup poster.
