#1
Posted 05 November 2010 - 08:07 AM
I would like to know if my PC will be faster after I upgrade it from sp1 to higher! And also I was told that the Microsoft Windows updates just make your machine go slower rather than helping it; shall I now yes/no download the security updates for Windows vista and the updates for windows vista?
I don't know it was like about 70 updates or so.
Please help
Thanx
Jay

My suggestion is to at least download all those labeled as Security related.
Do not know the specs of your PC or the programs you have loaded, running, but the affect, if any, from the updates should be negligible.

To answer your question. The reason you are being offered the updates is because you have the base program\software on your PC. Example. You already have Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 installed. Windows Update see`s it. Since it was initially released Microsoft has found ways of improving it`s function and to stop\prevent any security flaws from being exploited. The same thing can be said more or less about Vista SP1, or anything else that you listed.
Feel free to ask any questions you have. We will do our best to answer them to your satisfaction. That is why BC is here.

you know why I was all reluctant to update?, in the shop where I bought my laptop I was told automatic updates just slows your PC down more than anything else!
So I knew I had to ask here first before writing off automatic updates. So for now I'll go ahead with the critical/security updates.
I'll try to Relax and enjoy it audioAl!
Thanx for the advise Cryptodan and Thunderz
Any last thoughts on what else needs to be updated from the list??
Cheers
Jay
