On Saturday afternoon - May 26, 2018, I got this question from one of my TechPinas Friends via Facebook Messenger.

"Hi Sir Mark! My laptop does not seem to automatically upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10. I think it's stuck to the very first version and it frankly looks old now. How do I manually update the operating system so I can enjoy all of its new and useful features?"
