Make sure the user has an internet connection and run the
Windows Update by clicking start and there should be a
shortcut that is there by default. Let it scan the
machine and then do all the critical updates. After
completion you will reboot and shouldn't get that update
message anymore.

Windows Update by clicking start and there should be a
shortcut that is there by default. Let it scan the
machine and then do all the critical updates. After
completion you will reboot and shouldn't get that update
