how to upgrade win xp sp1 to win xp sp3

[Manuel S.]

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

If WinXP SP1 is installed, you can skip SP2.

That being said, did you just do a "clean install" of WinXP SP1 or...?

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.
