Hello Group, When Windows XP Pro Became available, I bought 5 copies. So
far I've used 4 of the copies in various Computers that I made & sold.

Now... within the next month, I will be putting together another computer
for myself and I want to use the last copy.

Once I install the OS, Will I be guided to a Win XP Pro Update site ???????

I'd want all the security updates and of course SP1 & SP2.

The reason I'm asking is due to a MS announcement quite a while ago that MS
will no longer support XP updates..!

I think you mean that MS will no longer supply patches for the vanilla version of the OS (and maybe SP1, I'm not sure). Patches will be supplied for XP + SP2.

You only need SP2. SP2 includes SP1.

Cheers,

Cliff
