I was given an older laptop with win 8 on it. Windows has not been updated for like 2 years and the OS is not activated and not "genuine" but working. Pretty sure the device is being attacked by an online trojan or WRAT, but I cannot find the source. Sfc scan reports it fixed some things and not others and DISM chekup (from memory) reports that the system files have not been altered. What is the safest easiest way to upgrade all the security updates? I searched and read the articles on this which are VERY confusing and convoluted. They SAY the MS updates are "cumulative" but the MS catalogue for updates lists SEVERAL update files all supposedly "cumulative". I would like to upgrade this machine but not at the risk of making it worse from the "update" procedure. What is the easiest, safest way? I can image the partitions in case MS screws up, which they often do.
