- Windows updates - saving to disk
- Posted by Trent SC on December 16th, 2005
I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine with all the updates. A colleague's XP
SP2 machine has only recently been connected to the net via a slow dial-up
connection to the net, and I was wondering whether I could use my broadband
connection to download all the available post-SP2 updates to disk, bung them
onto a CD and take them over to install manually.
And of course if there's a step-by-step guide, that would be very useful!
TIA
