Windows XP Repair Install - Step 19 of 19

This completes the final step of reinstalling Windows XP! Congratulations!

The first step after reinstalling Windows XP is to proceed to Windows Update to install all of the latest updates and fixes from Microsoft. The repair installation restored the original system files so any updates that you installed prior to this repair installation - including all service packs and other patches - are no longer installed.

Important: This is a necessary step to ensure that your repaired installation of Windows XP is secure and up to date.
