Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

At Microsoft, we get a lot of questions from students—so many that we can't answer each one of them personally. So we've put together a package of information just for kids that answers most of their frequently asked questions. This information includes key events in our company's history, biographies of our top executives, current facts and figures, and an FAQ.

To learn more about our history and our culture, visit the Microsoft Visitor Center Web site, or come visit the center in Redmond. You'll find hours and location information on the center's Web site.
