How Do I Check to See If I Have the Most Current Java Software?

Instructions

2. Click on the option provided on the front page of the website: "Do I Have Java?"

3. Review the message that appears on the new page once it finishes loading. This message will tell you if your Java software is up to date. If it is not, choose the option to update your Java. If your current software is up to date, you don't need to download anything.
