    Hi, how can I get genuine updates and security patches for my win xp fresh install?
    My dad had a pc with windows xp home edition and his hdd died, or is dying. So I saved all of his files and now Im searching how to install updates after the windows updatetoll has been discontinued, I believe on april 2020?

    I found this site https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=xp
    and typed xp and it found all the updates from 2004 till may 2019, but I dont know if I should download all of them for the xp version, is there somwhere a list of updates that should be downloaded, or how should I proceed?

    I also foud this guy


    But i dont know if its safe or not, because I should download a commad prompt script for running wsus and it is from an russian site and it will allow me to download the updates trough windows update minitoll.

    So how should I proceed? And btw i dont want to install the unoficial win sp4, because this is only for EN distros, I believe and I want only the cz one.

    I would really apriciate every help I can get. Because it is really timeconsuming and i dont want to bloat the pc with all kinds of nasty things.
