IF you are going to have an expired PC you need to get used to Googling and learning about it for many safety reasons. Otherwise you may want to consider an Apple computer. It's far more black box - out of your hands. They make the hardware, software and
antivirus stuff all in one and you don't have to take responsibility for your computer.
Just use Google search.
Google 'where are XP updates?'
Google 'how to stop automatic updates in Windows XP'
Google 'how to uninstall an updates in Windows XP'
and anything else you need.
It's easier and far more reliable than going to a forum and asking someone you don't know. You could easily be given the wrong instructions.
And your Windows XP might have slightly different updates or directory locations so it's far better to get these instructions reliably off the web.
It's not that I don't want to help but all I'm going to do is Google the instructions and copy and paste them for you and still, I might steer you in the wrong direction, so I hesitate answering all your questions.
