Downloading for other systems

Postby Richard » 13.03.2016, 03:13

Hello.

I don't seem to find this question on the forum.
I'm running Windows 7 PRO 64-bit, so I'm also using Wsus for this.

However, since I often help friends or people in the family I also need to have the Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit updates.
Today I tried to download the Windows XP updates with Wsus from my W7-64-bit pc and that seems to work. I'm using seperate folders for it.

So I got 2 questions.
1.) I presume I can also select and download W7 32-bit the same way? Is that correct?
2.) The newest version of Wsus does not accept Windows XP anymore so at this moment I'm using 9.2.1 to do this. Which is the latest Wsus version which supported XP?

1) You can select all OS you want, the UpdateGenerator part is only about downloading. Likewise, the Installer detects the OS and does only install applicable updates.
2) Well, 9.2.1. You already have the last version that supported the XP target OS.

Ah I thought maybe some other 9.x versions might support XP.

So I'm all in the clear then.
Thank you very much for your quick answer!
