How to install Windows Update manually

Original title: method to install Microsoft updates

I have a laptop that has not been used in nearlt per year. So of course, I did not install Microsoft updates.

I know that there will be a LARGE number of installed updates. What would be the best method to install?

Install a little at a time? How can I download only a few at a time?

Hello

You can change Windows update settings to allow you to choose the updates, and install them in groups. Follow the link given below for more information.

Assistance or direction would be useful and appreciated. Thank you.  Herb

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    It's really weird that Windows has not been updated for 5 months. The time depends on the updates required for Windows, drivers as well as other Microsoft software, apart from the speed of internet connection. This is why the time cannot be guessed.
