Margaret,
Do a google search for "windows updates. Microsoft Windows updates was
my first choice.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
That should open up a window that has a search engine for all the
windows updates available for your computer. IT will look at your
computer and give you a list of updates. Click on that search option
and it will come up with a list of critical and recommended updates.
Download as many as you can at a time. Be sure to pay attention as some
require to be done alone with no others and some can be downloaded in
multiples. Follow the instructions from there. You may have to restart
your computer when done.
