Windows XP Missing security updates following replacement of MoBo

[candleman]

I have just installed a new motherboard, but as is the case I have lost all the Microsoft security updates. As I am on dial up it’s going to take me ages to download them all from the Microsoft website (Belrac adviser shows there are at least 54 missing). Does anyone know whether its possible to download them from another site put them onto a disk here at work where I’m on broadband, and copy them onto my PC. The Microsoft website doesn't appear to give advice on the matter.



Thanks in advance

The best way to update YOUR PC/Laptop is to use Windows Update. It will scan your PC, as did Belrac adviser, for any critical updates ... if you use the custom button, you will have other updates available.


But yes, you can download & install all critical updates ...
