setting pasword

Hi Readers,

I have a new Toshiba laptop. and been wondering whether to set a Windows
password

i shall be the only user. Toshiba provides password protection which i
have set , i shall be

taking the laptop abroad in a few weeks time. I also have two desktops
which i don't use

any passwords, being the only user but do have some protected files. What i
dont fully

understand is , i dont want to create another user choice ,reading some of
the posts

problems seems to arise by not being able to update & install programs
,servicing etc.

Opinions would be appreciated
