Hello,
If your getting update messages for something you believe should have
already been on the system from the factory. . . the factory, or the
dude, or dudette that installed Windows on your system, may have
taken a short cut, and chose to not do anything more than use their
install disc for Windows, which may be a bit older. So any updates
since the creation of that disc would need to be downloaded and installed.
So when you received the new machine, it is not as updated and as
ready to go as you assumed.
then when you hook it up, and start it up for the first few dozen
times, you are probably going to get update messages until all
updates have been installed.

Listers,
Please answer off list if you don't think that this question is at
all relevant to the list.
I just went to check on updates to Windows 8.1, and saw that the
important update was a Rollup file. I wouldn't be concerned about
installing this apparent equivalent to the service pack of old but
for the fact that I thought it should have been installed on my new
Dell before it was shipped out a couple of weeks ago, especially
since it was released way back in November of 2014.
After my experience with a lemon from Dell back in March, I really
don't want to have to experience any more madness of that intensity
for a while, especially as they relate to computing. So, any input
on this matter would be appreciated.
BTW, not that this is a real justification for posting these kinds
of queries on the WE List, But I think I'm going to have to break
down and get a Gmail account, just to see if that wont change my
luck with trying to subscribe to lists on Yahoo, because Comcast
seems to have a problem, and apparently these lists seem to be
blocked. So, as much as I hate too, it looks like I'm gonna have to
take out multiple accounts just to be able to conduct business round
here <smile>.
Anyway, thanks for your indulgence as well as patients,
Larry
