They are rather important. I know you don't use credit cards, but there's other reasons why you'd want at least the basic protection of having an updated windows.
I had problems with one of the installs in the last 6 months that took a few tries to get right. I can't remember what I did other than just trying to let it do its thing when I was going to work so I wouldn't miss having the computer and it finally went through. Maybe we could figure it out.

I hear you and kiki like hot sauce, mustard and other condiments.

Trump-Ukraine: John Bolton 'sounded alarm about Rudy Giuliani's actions'
The former US national security adviser, John Bolton, was reportedly so alarmed at a back-channel effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate Donald Trump’s political rivals that he told a senior aide to report it to White House lawyers.
The revelation of Bolton’s involvement in the effort to block a shadow foreign policy aimed at Trump’s political benefit emerged from congressional testimony given by his former aide, Fiona Hill, the former top Russia expert in the White House.
Fiona Hill: British-born Russia expert drawn into impeachment storm

Hill, the British-born former senior director for Europe and Russia on the National Security Council, spoke to three House committees for 10 hours.
According to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, Hill described a sharp exchange on 10 July between Bolton and the US ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, about the role played by Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to persuade the Ukrainian government to open investigations into Democrats, including former vice president Joe Biden.
Hill said Bolton instructed her to tell the National Security Council’s attorney that Giuliani was acting in concert with White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, in a rogue operation with legal implications.
“I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton instructed Hill to tell the NSC lawyer, according to her testimony.
She said that Bolton had told her on an earlier occasion: “Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.”
Hill also testified on Monday morning before three congressional committees about Trump’s decision, taken despite strenuous objections from aides including herself, to recall the US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
The Washington Post reported that she had confronted Sondland over the Giuliani’s activities, which were not coordinated with officials charged with carrying out US foreign policy. Sondland is due to give his version of events on Thursday.
According to Fox News, Hill told congressional investigators that she and other officials went to the national security council lawyer with their concerns that the White House was seeking to prompt Ukraine to open investigations into Trump’s rivals.
Hill’s lawyer had earlier rejected arguments from the president’s attorneys that her testimony on Ukraine was covered by executive privilege.

In a letter to the White House, the lawyer, Lee Wolosky, said much of the material was already in the public domain and that “deliberative process privilege “disappears altogether when there is any reason to believe government misconduct occurred.”
The latest major Trump resignations and firings

The week could deteriorate rapidly for Trump, whose effort to rally defenders in his own party has been damaged by concerns about a growing disaster in northern Syria, following Trump’s abrupt pullback there, and a sense that major secrets attached to the Ukraine scandal are yet to come out.
Sondland’s testimony on Thursday comes after a previous attempt by the hotelier-turned-diplomat to testify was blocked by the state department, as part of a blanket White House defiance of the impeachment inquiry.
Congress is also due this week to receive relevant documents from an array of the most powerful figures in the administration, including the vice-president, the defense secretary and the White House chief of staff.
Out of the flow of new information, congressional investigators hope to fill in the picture of the Trump administration’s dealings in Ukraine, and answer the question of whether Trump’s conduct rises to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” cited in the constitution as grounds for impeachment.
The impeachment inquiry was sparked by a whistleblowe

Do Right, Be Right. :)
Yeah that's the one.
No, I don't shop on line at all.
I got a "could not complete the install" message.
I made one mistake on its first try, as I turned my computer back on and that screwed it up. Then Saturday or Friday night, I let it go but it still didn't complete it. So, when it comes up again I will let it go.
Yeah. If you can, just let it run overnight when you're going to go to sleep.
I know I had problems a few times with it with one of the recent installs, but I don't think I actually had to do anything but let it try a few times and it worked itself out.
Windows 10 is pretty amazing compared to all of the versions before it. I miss a lot of features that I used to use a lot back with Windows XP that they've never gone back to, but as far as security and stability go I'm very impressed with it.

It's likely not super critical if you're not being harangued 24/7 about installing it.
The one I had problems with was a pretty major one that Windows was harassing me for not installing yet. Most updates will just happen whenever you reboot. This was one of those ones where the computer would tell you it was rebooting if you didn't click within 15 minutes to tell it otherwise.
Very annoying when I'd be away when the message came up and it would take an hour to update only to fail so I'd have to deal with it again.

Nope, Jack. No haranguing. Yeah, I've had those ones too. But this install, I just decided to ignore. Well, that happens.
I'm sure it will come up again and I will just let it to its thing.

I can't imagine doing online shopping with a Windows PC, or even an Apple-based PC. Fortunately hubby knows a thing or three about PC security and he has our main PC buttoened up pretty tight. Plus we have Noscript, PrivacyBadger and other apps running. I've set Googletagmanager and Googleanalytics and Facebook and a few other scripts to permanently UNTRUSTED.
On my smart phone all of my family's phone numbers are under aliases. I never text anyone using their real name in the text because ... what happens if my phone gets lost? Of course I never do online banking or email or purchases or homesecurity over such a loosey=goosey platform. It astonishes me when I see ppl checking their home security cameras over their phone, or swipe to purchase. Same thing with the tablet. Nothing important happens there. I read the news, chat with you guys, play music or listen to The Duran or Tom Luongo or whatever podcasts are interesting but that's it. Every now and again I go to my security settings and reset all of the "allowed" apps and sites just incase I let something reside as "trusted".
Anyway, speaking of important things, been busting ass trying to get ready for out of town vistors. The rest of the family has been sick but I've been plowing thru various rooms. Hubby has a crap-ton of PC parts most of which I can't imagine would ever be useful; I hope he picks thru them and sets aside parts for the next build plus some spare parts and junks the rest - all I could do was take them off the diningroom table (where they have been for a year) and box them up and dust. If he manages to go thru those boxes I see a lot of outgoing items. Also been sorring thru dear daughter's possessions ... it's a problem because she has a hoarding tendency and has a real emotional attachment to every single item. sigh.
But this is also open enrollment, and so I have to get going on health insurance things. birthday parties happened this month, and dd's favorite holdiy (Halloween) coming up, I have a lot to do!
