On February 22, 2011, Microsoft released the Service Pack 1 (SP1) of Windows 7. It is a significant update, including many security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7 released previously. Some users reported that many system features were improved, for example, the reliability of connection with HDMI audio devices largely increased. The Service Pack 1 also repairs many bugs found in Windows 7, so it is strongly recommended to install the update. Here are the steps on how to check if you have Service Pack 1 in your system. If not, you'd better turn on the Windows Update and make your system up-to-date.
