							6 Backing up and recovering
your data
Updating apps, widgets, and the operating system
HP recommends that you update your apps, widgets, and the operating system on a regular basis to
the latest versions. Updates can resolve issues and bring new features and options to your tablet.
Technology is always changing, and updating apps, widgets, and the operating system allows your
tablet to run the latest technology available. For example, older apps and widgets might not work well
with the most recent operating system.
If you download the latest versions of HP and third-party apps and widgets, the operating system will
download system updates automatically and notify you when it is ready to install these updates. If you
want to update the operating system manually, go to 
http://www.hp.com/support.
