Win XP (Home) - can I install SP2 using diskett right after XP with 1 XP installation?

Hello

I reinstall Win XP (SP1) with a CD ROM provided by the OEM. I got the disc SP2 from Microsoft after its released many years ago. May I know what I can ignore all the other update and install SP2 immediately after the XP with SP 1 installation. Wil it cause no problems with my installation? It is safer to use Win Update to make it current?

Thank you

You should not use a computer running Windows XP (service pack) to connect to the Internet.  Windows XP has not been supported since April 2014 and is vulnerable to attacks by malicious software.

You must install Service Pack 3 rather than Service Pack 2, and you can install SP 3 directly on a Windows XP SP 1 system (there is no need to install SP 2 or pre - SP3 first updates).

Windows Update will not work unless you have installed Service Pack 3.

Before you install SP 3, read this--> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/950717

If your PC is a HP Pavilion and Presario, Media Center and has an AMD processor, you must install this hotfix before installing SP3--> http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=pv_60484_2

You can get the Service Pack 3 by using Internet Explorer 6 or later to go here--> http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=xp%20service%20pack

Click on the button 'Add' to the first item on the list (Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929)), click on 'View basket' (just under the search box) and then download the file.
