can you install updates while offline once you have downloaded them

Hi there :),

I have very little online time and it cost me a lot.

Can I install an update ( newest Windows Media Player 12 ) which I have already downloaded, it's sitting there amongst my downloads while not connected ?

I've been trying this and it does not work, why ?

It says " searching for updates ", but it's there !!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Thelma

As far as I know WMP 12 is already part of Windows 7.

Hi Brian,:)

My windows Media Player is playing up , not been used for junks. Is from the 1990 somewhere.

So I thought time to upgrade and had a look on the web. Microsoft offers the newest version so I downloaded it.

Hey :)

As I said Windows 7 already has the latest version, you can`t upgrade it.

No clue what you mean by 1990

Windows 7 was released October 22, 2009

Hi Torchwood :),

Thanks for your help !

I found this and also that I have MKV player 2.0 installed ( I inherited this laptop )
is that any good for viewing DVD's ?

Sorry Brian, I forgot this laptop started it's live in Windows Vista, that's why the initial launch date is older.

Also, ever after these problems with windows 10 I have not updated , I simply switched it off and did not encounter any problems up till now. Perhaps I need to go and visit MacDo and do some updating first to watch a DVD

Hi Roy:),

I've been through these windows features and turned some off I don't need ( had a look on the web ), also the Internet Explorer as you pointed out, thanks for that
