[Shop-talk] LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG OVER DUE WINDOWS UPDATES

[Neil Sherry]

Fine to update, should be no problems with updating Windows 7 in itself. The one issue you may face is that there have been some updates without which the update process hangs - I think Microsoft made some changes to improve security from their end which require updates to the Windows Update components on the PC. You may be lucky and already have them, but otherwise the best thing is to apply btjose updates manually. Google 'windows 7 updates slow' - there are two or three updates to get manually from Microsoft Update Catalog website.

Yes, this is not a shop talk type of post but some of Y'all (sorry but I just got back from bloody Memphis) are better on the computer side of things than I used to be. 



I have a laptop that is old, tired, and seriously beat on. Thankfully the pint that I spilled on it some many years ago only took out the "Z". (I have to copy and paste one from a word doc..funny this..... NOT) Anyway, I've not done any windows
 updates in too long because I seriously don't think this computer can handle the updates. 



Win7 home premium currently being run on a Toshiba C655, Pentium CPU @2.20 GH w 4Gigs of ram that shows "service pack 1"



Finally here's the question: 



What can I expect if I just click the "update" button for these long overdue updates. 





cheers
happily home from sketchy memphis
