I think AOL or Prodigy may have a work around. Recommend an Alta Vista search for a GeoCities website.

Think all they are doing now is security updates...did you get the option to upgrade to Windows 10? They were doing it for free for awhile.

What is the update number or description. Windows updates typically start with "KB".

Haha. I laughed. I can't believe anyone remembers GeoCities.

Try using Autopatcher. This is what we use when we build a new system, instead of waiting a day for updates to finish. Pretty sweet program, and its offline\portable.

the windows update

I have had one of my high end computers in storage since 2012 and decided to fire it up last Saturday and run in to the same thing mule. Was hoping a free update to 10 was available but didn't see one and haven't had time to mess with it since.

Not quite. You can still do it, but you have to be using the assistive tools method. It's a work around.

You sir, deserve a thumbs up.

I still have Windows 7 on my laptop. Is it worth it to upgrade to 10? I'm probably going to get a new one in the next 6 months and I'm not having any issues...that I know of. So should I just leave well enough alone?

Windows 10 works much better on newer tech. Keep what you have, and make the jump when you get a new one. :hi:
