6.     Software Update and App Store
      _  From About this Mac
      _  Check regularly - (but don't try to update during the session!)
      _  Personally I tend to wait before upgrading to a new system. Wait for                    10.X.1
​          Rare for there to be any bugs but happy to let others worry about them
