Is it very important to update to OS 7? How do I disable the notification pop up? And how can I download it in the future if I do disable the notice?

My monitor has an HDMI port. How can I connect my Moto G directly to, and display it on the PC screen? A bit confused with the MHL capable cables. Don't want to try connecting the phone through the actual PC as I'm having trouble getting my device recognized.

Yes. Settings > apps > google app. Yea I'm pretty sure nothing was actually deleted but it's such a pain to put everything back and start remembering what was where. I didn't know the Google App stores the set-up for the home screen, user interface, links, and shortcuts.
