Microsoft Teams is a messaging app for teams where all conversations, meetings, files, and notes can be accessed by everyone, all in one place. It’s a place for collaboration and work to happen in the open. Microsoft Team’s interface is reminiscent of social media chat clients, like Facebook or Google Hangouts.

Office 365 Groups, Teams and SharePoint are all different things within Microsoft’s Office 365 suite.

An Office 365 Group is a group of users in the Azure Directory who share access to a SharePoint site, a Yammer group, Planner and OneNote. When you create a Team, you are also creating an Office 365 Group for that Team, allowing the members of your Team access to everything within the Office 365 group for that Team (shared Planner, SharePoint site, OneNote etc). For further information on Office 365 Groups and how they relate to Teams, please email or call us.

Feature updates are typically released twice per year and include new functionality and capabilities as well as potential fixes and security updates. Quality updates are more frequent and mainly include small fixes and security updates. Windows is designed to deliver both kinds of updates to devices through Windows Update.

Before you can use any software that you download, you must install it. For example, if you download a security update but do not install it, the update will not provide any protection for your computer. Follow these steps to save and install a download:

1. On the download details page, click the Download button.
2. A dialogue box will open. Click the Save button.
3. You will be prompted to select a location for the download on your computer. Select an appropriate location and click the Save button.
4. When the file has finished downloading, you will see a second dialog box. If you want to install the file immediately, click the Open button. This launches an installation wizard.
5. If you do not want to immediately install the file, click the Close button. When you are ready to install the file, double-click the file to launch the installation wizard.

Note: When you save a download file, make sure to save it to a location that you will remember when you are ready to install the download. We suggest creating a special folder on your desktop to which you always save downloads. Follow these steps to create such a downloads folder:

1. Right-click an unused area of your desktop.
2. Point to New, and then click Folder.
3. Give the folder a name, such as My Downloads.
