On this note when I go to windows update for the first time AFTER a fresh install and have all my data and programs installed, I always do a custom scan, as this will give you the option to choose not to install an update, the express scan will not give you the option to hide any updates.Īlso make sure that you have your service packs installed up to sp3 for xp 32bit and up to sp2 for xp 64 bit and that you have IE8 installed as MU will not work without it. I never install this and if it should happen to get installed there is a registry fix to get rid of it, thank goodness. The EOL (KB2934207) is a high priority update that all it does is send popup notifications that XP is unsupported and out of date. This way all the updates that can be installed offline about 80% are going to be installed with portup BEFORE you go to windows updates to get the rest after your fresh install. You want to do PortUp from your CURRENT installation so that it can see what is installed and what you need, then you will let portup download everything while you are connected to the internet and before you wipe your drive, you can choose which ones you want later after the fresh install and before you go online.

download an offline installer and database for your antivirus as this should be installed even before you go online to MU to get the rest of your updates that Portup does not install.

Note: if your install has no service packs you will need to install 1 or 2 and then sp3Ĥ. Go here courtesy of Mike_Walsh for service pack downloads and you might think about slipstreaming your install cd with sp3 so that would be one less thing to worry about installing.
