Latest guidance re how to get updates
Got an Averatec 3150P laptop still running XP Pro after 15 years, maybe
because I only drag it out nowadays on or maybe shortly after Patch Tuesday to see if it still boots up and can snag whatever updates are available. I was doing this via the registry hack that spoofed XP Imbedded and POSReady 2009 (the one that promised updates until next year). This worked fine until some event-don't recall exactly what now-prompted Microsoft to temporarily resume updating XP a little while back. Last updates I successfully got were at the end of March (little late updating that month and have slacked off since). Anyway, we're back to the eternal "searching for updates" issue and Microsoft Security Essentials, which HAD started working again, now won't update even after searching overnight. Any ideas as to where I should go from here? Really would like to get those last few months of updates that hack promised. |
