hello friends
i have wsus offline version 10.9.1
I want to update Windows 8 with wsus offline.
but i I did not see "windows 8" in wsus offline window.

1- I should get windows 8.1 updates with wsus?
2- and then update my windows 8 with it?

very thanks

Windows 8.0 (the originally issued version) is EOL. MS stopped issuing updates for Windows 8.0 in January 2016. As a consequence, Windows 8.0 was dropped from WSUSOU.

To continue being supported you must (Bucket list):

[ ] 1. Download Windows 8.1 or 8.1 x64 (depending on your OS architecture) updates through WSUSOU UpdateGenerator.
[ ] 2. Upgrade to Windows 8.1 through the Store or through ISO. The former will work for all Retail and OEM customers, the latter will work for Volume, too (but will require new Volume keys).
[ ] 3. Use WSUSOU to apply Windows 8.1 updates.

very thanks to your answer.
Best regards

it have all win 8 updates until today?
if no, until what day?

b-
if my win 8 does not updated, then i can upgrade it to win 8.1 with iso? or first i must update win 8?

Only until January 2016. Windows 8 does not receive any further updates. Security problems are no longer patched.

At least the Upgrade through ISO should work instantly.

only the normal or "client" editions of Windows 8.0 was EOL'ed in January 2016. Only Microsoft continues to provide security patches for Windows 8.0 Embedded Standard edition beyond Jan. 2016
until January 2023.

But wsusou was never intended to support the embedded editions. As some components might be missing, there never was an official support for it.
