Using School Wifi For Updates

Anonymous

My personal internet is quite slow. Windows Update take hours upon hours. I'm planning to do a windows update at school (Community College) since its about 10x faster there. Does it make a difference if I use the student wifi vs guest wifi on campus. I'm worry that it isn't safe. I'm careful not to log into my important accounts while on campus, but is worry if I do the update, something bad will happen. Not sure how update works.   

2018-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4343909)

(It's pending a restart, I've been holding off until school starts.)

    If it is pending a restart, that means the update has already downloaded and waiting to install. Click restart and you should be done.
    The main concern for you would be in October, when the next feature update releases which takes GBs to download.
