Is it possible to receive all the updates for Windows XP after re-installing?

I realize that Microsoft no longer make new updates for Windows XP (form apart recent exception), but I was about to run a complete reset of my Windows XP Netbook when I thought to myself "I'll be able to get the updates?"

So my question is just that, if I turn my Windows XP Netbookreset, it will download all the necessary updates, to the point where Microsoft stopped, making them?

If not, is there another way to get the updates, I would need, or is it better to not run the factory reset at all.

Your help is very appreciated,

Yes, Windows Update will always offer updates for XP that were issued before April 8, 2014.

There is a catch, however, (which may apply to the vilidjit) - Windows Update won't work for XP, unless service pack 3 is already installed.  It is also possible that it will not work until IE 8 is installed, but I'm less sure of that.

If your computer is running after a 'restoration provided the factory' earlier level of service pack for XP, you must download and install service packs manually.  If you have no service pack, you need to install sp2 before you install sp3 (if you have sp 1 or sp1a, you don't need sp2).

If you did a "restore to factory conditions", don't forget to uninstall any free trial of an antivirus program (the free trial period will be long expired).  Use the appropriate removal of the manufacturer of the virus program tool.

Go to Windows Update and download all post-sp3 updates.  It may take several visits.

Install an antivirus of your choice.

If you have an XP install CD (as opposed to a "restore to factory conditions" system), do you a favor and wake a full sp3 with all updates of CD--> http://xdot.tk/
