  Yes.

  There are several things that you can remove, but they are all temporary
  solutions. You soon find yourself in the same situation. the
  only real solution to this problem is the purchase of a larger or second hard
  drive. Luckily they are cheap these days.

• is it safe to update from windows 7 to windows 8 without having to worry about losing files and data of the current computer?

  will I lose my files and stored data when I update from windows 7 to windows 8?

  will I lose my files and stored data when I update from windows 7 to windows 8?

  There is no particular risk to lose anything, if you do an upgrade, rather than a new installation, and if you do it right.

  * However *, whenever make you a leap like an upgrade from one version of Windows to another, there is always a risk. Things * can * fool you. So before I do, you should be sure you have a current backup on external support of all important files for you.

  And another point. Even if you do not upgrade, it is * always * a risk of losing. So you should be sure you have a current backup on external support of all important files for you * all * time, not just in the moment it takes important steps.

  You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'Return to top your computer regularly and reliable' to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

  This isn't for Vista - after each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files. With Vista, is a differential backup, rather than a full backup and uninstalling files in Windows XP.  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

• Impossible to install missing old updates of Windows XP-

  I am told that I have a lot of older Windows XP updates missing who might be a threat to my safety. I have Windows XP Pro Media Center edition SP3.

  I received prior assistance from a person who has provided support to Microsoft for a tech forum. She began to date of all the tests she could think to search for missing persons. We also tried to reinstall KB978601, an old update, time & time without success.

  I started with AVG free edition, but now I use Trend Micro Titanium Security 2011 my virus protection. We have also conducted tests with & without my virus protection on.  Finally, it was suggested that I try this site for answers. I currently receive all the updates with no problems and I'm not sure the updates, Miss me him. As I mentioned before, told me that even if they are more updated that the fact of not having them is a threat.

  Update of root certificate will not be listed in Add/Remove programs.

  Note: Updates of root certificates usually come out every 3-4 months. While the updates of root certificates are installed automatically in Vista & Win7, Windows XP users must install manually via the Windows Update Web site [what were thinking?] then make sure you run all CUSTOM analysis a few months, so to see if a root certificates update became available.

• When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

  I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

  Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

  If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.
