If the system seems to be functioning okay, then indeed wait until you can backup your personal files. A few updates are most likely not critical to system operation as they are for security, so just keep that in mind.

Everything is working fine now, service pack 1 even slid in with no complaints.

I have downloaded and installed the readiness tool that was recommended via google and another kind lister on this list. It is not working, I cannot install any updates. To all the technical computer gurus here what do you think the issue is? Here's the message again... Some updates were not installed Restore hidden updates Failed: 1 update 1 important update selected Updates: frequently asked Review important updates Try again Error(s) found: Code 800B0100 Windows Update encountered an unknown error. Trust me... I have gone in circles on this and it kept bringing me back to the readiness tool which did not do squat... If someone could help and possibly fix this issue I would be so greatful. Thank you...

Below are his steps. Hi Mike, Here is one way to do what you are wanting: 1. Use the link below to go to the Microsoft Update site: http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us 2. Once there, open the file menu, and arrow to, send, and hit enter. 3. In the resulting sub-menu, select shortcut to desktop, and hit enter. The resulting shortcut is named, Microsoft Update, but you can rename it to, Windows Update. 4. Now you have a shortcut, that you can move to the start menu. HTH, Rick Justice Thanks again for your input. Take care.
