Fans of older Microsoft operating systems launched the Windows Update Restored site, where users of versions of Windows released in the 90s and early 2000s can download various updates. In this respect informs Tom’s Hardware version.
The new site currently supports Windows 95 (1995), NT 4.0 (1996), 98 (1998), Me (2000), 2000 (2000) and XP (2001). Later, Windows Update Restored will support Windows Server (2003) and Windows Vista (2007).
The site is designed so that users of older versions of Windows can download and install official updates that Microsoft has not distributed for a long time. Specifically, with Windows Update Restored, you can download the DirectX 8a utility for Windows 95, which was released in 2001 and is essential for running many video games. Windows 95 ended support in December 2001.
It is noteworthy that the creators of Windows Update Restored themselves do not recommend downloading files published on the site and disclaim all responsibility for the consequences of their installation. Enthusiasts call their project an archive and position it as a museum of old versions of Windows.
