Downloading Windows Updates

Sure, just go to the MS Windows update catalog page:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/

Select the desired version of Windows and select from the available updates.

Then, create a CD with separate folders for each version of Windows.

CAUTION: be careful with both DirectX 9 and IE 6 for older PCs with Windows 9X and older video cards.
If the video driver is over 9 months old, or does not support DirectX 9, you might want to skip both updates.

Next, go to Microsoft's TechNet page and sign up for the security update e-mail.
That way, you will get an e-mail when MS releases a new update.

The e-mail and many update details have a more information link that will take you to a page where you can manually download the updates.

If you support W95 boxes, go to the Download page and select Windows 95.
Download as desired.
