• It is safe to connect to the internet to update XP if the computer has not been used for a good year or so?

  Hi all - I have another laptop which has remained unused for probably over a year or more, and I want to start using it again. It works under XP, and currently has Service Pack 2 installed. My question is: is it safe to connect to the internet now and start downloading all the required Windows updates? My concern is that, as just like the anti-virus, firewall, even Windows itself have not been updated in so long, it would be imprudent to start the internet connection at this point? Is it safe to go forward and to connect and update, or is it better to download updates etc on another computer, put it on a disc/USB and then use it to install updates? Thanks in advance!

  Consider that he is therefore authorized to connect the computer to our broadband services to update the anti-anti-virus/firewall?

  Yes, as long as the firewall is turned on and that's the first thing you do online (i.e., no surfing, no audit e-mail, no chat, no download of anything else).

  The Windows Security Center will let you know if something went wrong.

  You're welcome and thank you very much for your comments!

• Update on a laptop that has not been used in almost 1 year

  My husbands cell phone has not been used since last October. He was diagnosed with leukaemia, shortly after he had and has not shown an interest to learn to use it until now. It has Windows 8 and we want to do the free update of Windows 10. The laptop wants to 79 updates before we start download Windows 10. He has been on and downloading these updates for more than 3 hours and the screen still says 0% complete. Is it normal to take so long after being unused for so long? Husband and I went to the challenge of the technology. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  There are many updates and update process may take several hours. You can suddenly find that updates show that almost complete.

  If there is anything on the laptop that you want to keep:

  Download and create a Windows 8.1 installation media and do a clean install of it. See creating installation for Windows 8.1 media. Accepting any offer to install updates during installation. 8.1 Windows installation media last will accept the keys to Windows 8. If your key is in the BIOS of the laptop, it will be detected automatically.

  At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to upgrade to Windows 10 and will be able to do an immediate upgrade Windows 10 without updating the Windows 8.1 installation.

  Visit the support of the manufacturer of your laptop to see if there are model specific drivers you need. Installing Windows 8.1 and 10 will not provide the latest drivers.

  If you want to keep the existing installed applications and files, you can create 8.1 Windows installation media and run the setup.exe on it then in Windows 8.

• My new HP Pavilion has not been tested for Windows 8. Why not?

  My Windows 7 HP Pavilion, model 520-1040 with a touchscreen was sold to me in July by Harvey Norman - as well as advice that it was designed in preparation for Windows 8.

  Today on the HP site I checked for more information on the upgrade to Windows 8.

  After I entered the product number of the computer, QU392AA #ABG, I received the message that "HP has not tested this PC" and told me that if I switch to Windows 8, I can lose nombreauses & stability.

  Does anyone know if or when HP will address this issue?

  .

  The models tested HP and drivers for computers built after seven of 2011. It sounds as if your model has been built in this period (even if the model you provided pulled up a touchsmart). When Windows 8 release, make sure to run Windows Update after installation. Windows Update provides drivers and firmwire provided to Microsoft by the manufacturer.

  If ping works, then it means that the connection is OK.

  Have you checked the setting of the connection and the setting in your security software (firewall)?

  It works if you start the computer in SafeMode (F8 at the startup screen), with if necessary network support?

• Windows Update of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465)

  After installing Windows Update Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465) my computer slowed down and
  I was not able to connect to my hotmail account.

  I uninstalled, or rather I went the restore point on my computer and uninstalled it.

  Why Microsoft comes up with these updates?  Very often, these mess my computer updates.

  Sincerely,

  Lucienne

  Never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE!  Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

  Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been extended until February 26, 2010. Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack). ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft
