How do I do this? at the moment the pc on the internet downloads and installs upgrades automatically

kgreeneit

Hi there, from the pc that has internet access, go to this website and search the catalog for the list of the latest updates for your operating system:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog

Then goto this site and manually download the updates that you want from the previous list obtained from the above website.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en

it's a fairly long winded way to update your PC and to be honest, if you are not connected to the internet, then there isn't a need to install/update everything - just maybe the critical updates listed instead.

hope this helps!
