SP2 Question

[SecurityFan]

Hi,

I have a question about updating my Home Edition, Service Pack-1 XP to Service Pack-2. I sent away to M$ last year for an SP2 CD. I received it over a year ago but never applied it. Now I see time is running out for support of SP1.

Can I go ahead and use this year-old SP2 CD to upgrade to SP2? Or should I have M$ send me another, more recent, SP2 CD? Would the update CD for SP2 have changed in the mean time?

Any help with this issue would be appreciated! Thanks.

Go ahead and use the SP2 CD.
SP2 is SP2.
You will still need to go to Windows/MS update to get all the additional patches that have appeared since SP2.

Backing up before you apply SP2 would be a good idea too.
