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,
Sylar
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.

How to upgrade all the updates of Windows XP from a single package?

Hope this helps, they recommend you to read the info from the beginning. With files and information, you can create an ISO file that can be used to create a version of XP from microsoft that you can use in the future. I do not recommend to use a good firewall and antivirus program to protect your system like back up your system regularly.

Who knows where to find all the drivers for Windows XP and Windows 7 for HP Pavilion n072sy-15 Notebook PC?
Hello:
XP will not install or run on a PC with an Intel 8 series chipset, so you need not be concerned with finding drivers.
Here is the link to a template that you can use the W7 x 64 bit drivers from.
When you install the graphics drivers, first install the Intel HD graphics driver, reboot and then install the graphics driver nVidia.

Updates automatically downloaded cannot be reused. Suggest you open the link "View update history" of the icon of the Windows Update control panel and write updates have been downloaded and installed.
Then download and save them from the Microsoft Download Center .
Just enter the number in the field to Search All Download Center and then click on the "magnifying glass" to start the search.
You can also change the language and geographic location by clicking on the link edit in the top right of the page.
