Introduction of a portable computer to update

I have a laptop Toshiba 10 year which was always offline.
It has no service pack.
I tried to plug it, but the old IE stops before that much I can do.
I have a desktop machine which is updated.
I can download on the office and write on a flash drive as a way to get software to work: that is to say first, then service packs.
(I bought a CD of Service Pack 3, but it won't install without Service Pack 1).

You need to install the standalone version of SP2 and then SP3 IE8. More details:

1. using a work PC, download the installation of SP2, SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. Download these files on a USB flash drive. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3) IN OPTION FOR YOU SINCE YOU HAVE THE CD!

(You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

(You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. I recommend Avira free Antivirus:

(Avast and MSE are also very good.)

2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

4. install SP2. Restart TWICE.

5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

7 install an Antivirus software.

(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

Start | Control Panel | Security Center

(Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

10 re - enable automatic updates.
