Hello all,
The laptop I use at work is an old Dell P3 (pretty decent actually), but has Win 2K and is badly in need of updates. Still running IE5 and all. If I run Windows Update and do SP4, then IE6 SP1, then all other relevant updates, should I worry about conflicts or problems? There is a LOT of old junk files on this laptop that I don't want to touch due to their excessive quantity. Any reason why I would definitely have to back up before I update everything? I've only worked with updating 2K once before, and that was on a fresh install so there was little risk of conflicts.
Thanks in advance
