    Presumably Microsoft think that W8 is so good first time out that it'll never need any updates...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • If you are on the start screen go over to the top right hand corner with your mouse until the side pane appears showing five icons.
    Go to the last icon pc settings and windows update is on this screen set to auto up date.

    I get what you are saying but that info is not there. After clicking the little cog icon (settings) there is no option 'auto update' in the next field

    The reason I was looking for this is because ive just reinstalled office 2007 and it needs updating

    Ive found it now, its under 'pc info'
