Since Windows XP was discontinued in 2014, followed by Windows 7 in 2020, Microsoft’s support for their earlier OSes has significantly dwindled. As XP and earlier don’t officially support modern security improvements, such as the SHA256 hash algorithm required by modern SSL and Authenticode certificates as of 2019, much of the internet has become inaccessible to these devices. Adding insult to injury, Microsoft actively removed many downloads for XP and earlier versions in 2020. In effect, working with these OSes is now incredibly difficult.
To address this, Legacy Update hosts a patched instance of the Windows Update website. This works because the original Windows Update website simply accesses an ActiveX control that connects to the Windows Update service running on your computer.
Download the latest version from the Releases page of this repo, or from legacyupdate.net.
You can also download the latest nightly build, based on the current development work. Nightly builds are not guaranteed to be stable, and unlike release builds, require at least Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP2. You may also need to accept extra SmartScreen and other security warnings since these executables are unique to each build. If you’re not sure what to download, you probably want the stable release.
This repo hosts an ActiveX control used as a replica of the original one developed by Microsoft for the official Windows Update website. The original version of Legacy Update required using a proxy autoconfiguration file (.pac) and some additional configuration of IE security settings to intercept requests to the update.microsoft.com site, because ...
I haven’t yet open sourced the website. This is because the vast majority of it is Microsoft code - just with a handful of patches I’ve made to remove Microsoft trademark branding, switch it to the Legacy Update ActiveX control, and make some slight bug fixes/improvements. It doesn’t feel appropriate to put an open source license on something I don’t own. However, if you would like to review it, you can right click → View Source on the website and take a poke around, mainly in the JavaScript files. You might find DebugBar and CompanionJS (requires Visual Studio or standalone Microsoft Script Debugger) useful.
I’ve tinkered with writing a ground-up replacement of the Microsoft-developed Windows Update website, which I’ll open source when I feel it’s ready for public use (there are currently a number of bugs and missing features).
The existence of this project shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement to continue using unsupported OSes. You should stick to a supported OS such as Windows 10 or 11 (or, try Linux?!). However, this service exists anyway in recognition that using these OSes is sometimes necessary to run legacy hardware/software, or just interesting to play around with.
