    Abstract: An indication is received from a user to initiate installation of an operating system onto a storage device of a computer. The storage device is partitioned into an original partition and a new partition. Installation software for the operating system is loaded onto the new partition. The computer is booted into the installation software on the new partition. The operating system is installed onto the original partition via the installation software on the new partition. The computer is then re-booted into the operating system on the original partition and the new partition is removed from the storage device.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for a unified software update display center is provided. The GUI includes a first display area for displaying a set of available security system software updates. The GUI includes a second display area for displaying a set of available non-security system software updates. The GUI includes a third display area for displaying a set of available application software updates. The GUI includes a single selection tool for installing all available security updates without installing any updates displayed in the second and third display areas. The GUI includes individual selection tools for installing individual updates displayed in the second and third display areas. The GUI includes a selection tool to receive further updates from a system update server and an application update server. The critical security updates are displayed with different display attributes or in different sections to distinguish them from other types of updates.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of a method and an apparatus for pre-heated software installation have been presented. In one embodiment, packages of updates to software are downloaded from a remote source to a computing system in a background operation of a computing environment in the computing system. Then installation of the packages of the updates is initiated automatically in the background operation in an isolated manner without committing to the software updates.

    Software update rollbacks using file system volume snapshots

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for restoring a computing device to an operable state when a software update renders the computing device inoperable. According to some embodiments, a snapshot of a file system volume is automatically generated prior to executing the software update. When an issue is detected with the software update—e.g., the computing device freezes, the computing device cannot boot into an operable mode, etc.—the computing device can (1) automatically enter into a restoration mode, and (2) restore the file system volume to its previous state in accordance with the snapshot. In this manner, the issues caused by the software update are entirely mitigated, and the computing device can transition back into an operable state.
