Install updates
To check for, and install updates on a Dell system:
1. On the Welcome screen, click CHECK.
a. Dell Command | Update connects to Downloads.dell.com, and checks for updates.
b. Click CANCEL to return to the previous screen without checking for updates. For more information about changing the
source location, see General Settings.
The Checking for updates task starts and the Checking for Updates screen is displayed.
The Checking for updates task includes the following:
● Checking for component updates
● Scanning for system devices
● Determining available updates
The Checking for Updates screen provides the status of the system scan. When updates are found, Dell Command |
Update prompts you to install the updates.
If no updates are found, a No updates available message is displayed indicating that the devices on the system are up-to-
date. Click Close to exit Dell Command | Update.
Based on the availability of updates and preferences you have set, the No updates available message is displayed. This
message is displayed in the following scenario:
● If the default filters are modified and there are no updates found based on the filter criteria, then change the filter criteria
to get available updates.
● When you retain the default Update Filter preferences and no updates are available.
2. Click VIEW DETAILS to choose the updates you want to install on the system. The Customize Selection screen is
displayed.
