I’m sure many of you are aware of Windows Update Restored, a very similar project to Legacy Update, which aims to preserve what was lost from past versions of Windows Update. Legacy Update is incredibly fortunate to still have enough of Windows Update online for it to continue working on Windows 2000 and later. WUR is not as lucky, but they’re fighting the good fight, and have done some incredible work to bring back Windows Update versions 2 to 5, while Legacy Update focuses only on version 6.
I’ve been extremely fond of what they’ve been doing, and WULover/CaptainTER06 and the rest of the crew have been wonderful people, so we decided we should officially work together.
You’ll soon see some changes to the Discord server to accommodate the WUR project, and we’ll be working together towards our shared mission of reviving Windows Update and other web services long forgotten by Microsoft. Super excited for what’s to come, and I hope you are too!
By the way, you may already be aware, but WUR are asking the community to look around on any old hard drives you might have, in case they might have Windows Update v3 inventory files and update downloads. More info here:
