Modern life cannot exist without the use of the Internet, which is impossible to work with without browsers. The latter, like any software, are improved from time to time and become more relevant after the update.

Step 1
Microsoft has always paid great attention to networking technologies, including the Internet browser included with any version of the Windows operating system. On March 19, 2009 the company presented to users a new version of the program - Internet Explorer 8 (abbreviated as IE8). This browser is no exception, and after some time it loses its relevance without updating. Often, with the latest version of the update, any errors noticed during the operation of the previous version are corrected or new functions are simply added.
Step 2
Typically Windows is configured to check for existing updates on the developer server automatically, according to its schedule. In this case, your browser should be updated.
Step 3
If Automatic Updates is disabled, start Internet Explorer 8. From the Tools menu, select the Windows Update tab. The browser may offer you different update options. Choose whichever option suits you so that all the most important and recent changes will be made.
Since the browser is integrated into the operating system, and its updates are free, the best option would be to update directly through the official website or Microsoft server.
Step 4
Another update option may be offered to you by visiting the official site https://www.microsoft.com/rus/. To do this, in the search box, write the query "update internet explorer 8". You will find links with possible options for action and their description.
Step 5
A more radical way to lean towards in the event of an update with serious errors or the inability to take advantage of previous update options is to reinstall the browser. To do this, by analogy with the previous paragraph, download the installation file of this browser and start the installation. The antivirus program can warn you about changes on your computer, if you download the installation file from the official website, allow the installation. In the installation dialog boxes, you must check the box "Allow updates".
