Well, you should be more careful next time then.

I am very tired, so that's why I wrote it here. But don't worry, I won't do that again.

Hello @maile3241! Long time no hear from each other! Are you OK? I hope so. Anyway, this Legacy Update service is an interesting found! I had a look at its homepage but I couldn't find any information about the supported languages. Do you know if it is for English Windows versions only?

Cheers, AstroSkipper

No, I tested on french Windows XP and 2000 and it worked

Any idea if this works on 2000 RTM? Or just SP3 or later?

On a Windows 2000 which works with v6

This means that the Legacy Update service offers you French-language Windows updates. Did I understand that correctly?

Hello @AstroSkipper thank you for asking! I am fine. I hope everything is fine with you too. Well, this website is in English but it still searches and finds updates in the respective language, so that works without any problems.

Glad to hear! I am fine so far. Just a little more coughing after a Covid infection.  And, thank you for the information! At first sight, I thought it's for English Windows versions only as it is very often the case.  But, good to know that other language versions of Windows are supported, too. Anyway, good find!

Yeah, you understood it correctly. As english is not my native language, it's a bit difficult to write the right sentences (I don't use any translator, it's my english training).

But the most important thing is that you understand me .

OT: Unfortunately, I am actually a black tea drinker as you already know, more precisely East Frisian Tea. Have you had positive experiences that sipping green tea helps to get rid of the cough or to get better faster?

Oh cool, I should make a Windows 2000 VM and try it when I get home. Also, does it have Office updates or is it just Windows updates only?
