Clean install of Vista

[Jaguarek62]

I finally got to reinstalling my Vista copy. Something broke during my extended kernel testing and my installation is really unstable. 

My questions are:

1) How to update vista up until the EOL (2017) (Most preferably automatically so I don't have to click on 100 msu files)

2) I've seen a lot of complaints about .net. Is it working fine without WU servers?

3) What browser is most functional on Vista with extended kernel? (chrome 86/Firefox etc..)

use dism++

you should update until eol before trying to "install" the extended kernel

i don't know but you can try both and use them for a while then see what the differences are and who does the job better

I never got that one working properly (albeit that was ages ago), was there anything specific you did?

Firefox tends to work more reliably from what I can tell. Besides, real ESR versions actually exist for it unlike Chrome, and I'd prefer not to support the Chrome monopoly regardless.
