No bluez you got to put them inmate a lot of it is security stuff. The updates will be stored in the machine to look them up go to Updates see pic and in the setting s choose what I advised but that is my choice it is a whole lot safer.
The easiest way is to create an image of the installation once all updates have been applied:
Imaging with free Macrium
You can then restore that image (which contains the original installation + all the updates) if you need to.
Alternatively, download them and store them on an external USB, to apply at a later date:
Windows Updates Downloader (WUD)
The first method is less work.
What Golden said ^
I've used Windows Updates Downloader (WUD) plenty of times, works well especially when I have to slipsteam the Windows 7 media with the latest updates.
Hello bluezz,
In addition to the above: :)
Windows Update - Download Standalone MSU Installer File
(option for after the update is installed)
Windows Update - Extract an Update
thanx 2 all 4 replies ... Windows Updates Downloader (WUD), will it make a single file of all updates i choose ??? or i have 2 install them all manually 1-by-1 ???
thanx all 4 the replies ... direct download is faster ... so wont save them ... admin/mods can close this topic ... thanx
