From: Manuel S. on 7 Jun 2010 18:15 Hello: As MS anounced end of life for Win XP SP1/SP2, I would like to know if a PC that has WinXP SP1 should be upgraded to SP2 before applying SP3, or if I can apply directly SP3 on SP1 without SP2. Thanks
From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 7 Jun 2010 18:23 If WinXP SP1 is installed, you can skip SP2. HOW TO get a computer running WinXP SP1(a) or SP2 fully patched http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/msg/a066ae41add7dd2b That being said, did you just do a "clean install" of WinXP SP1 or...?

From: Manuel S. on 7 Jun 2010 23:11 Actually it is just for backup, since there is one PC in the office which originally had XP sp1, just in case it needed a future full reinstallation, could I skip SP2?

Yes you can skip SP2. SP3 contains all the updates included with SP2 and the update released until the date the SP3 was released. |
