    Reformat of a unsupported operating system

    Locked

    by denise ·

    Had to reformat my HD this weekend and after completing it I remembered that I can’t restore any of the updates because Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft. Anyone know of a way I can get hold of all the updates and service packs I need?

      select on the left side “Use Administrator Options”
      the new [page displays, select the link for Windows Update Catalog

      Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.

      When I try to get to windows update I am pitched into a page that says this:

      This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems only.
      To find updates for Microsoft products that are designed for Macintosh operating systems, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mac/.

      Can you post a direct link?

        Anyway, go to http://www.microsoft.com
        select Downloads and Trials
        select Download Center
        near the top there is a new search toolbar, next to all downloads, type Win ME and press GO
        a new page opens for searching better, in Product/Technology look for Windows Millenium
        unlike win update, there is a lot of crap that is unrelated to millenium that may show up. Oh yeah, get rid of the keywords and drill it down a bit with the other options.
