Once you get to Windows Update page, depending on which ever Windows you have, just look around for a PRODUCT UPDATES link. Once you find it, click on it. If you're doing the update for the 1st time a prompt box will appear, asking you to download some stuff from Microsoft Corporation, hit YES . Then it will take you to the actual place where all the stuff is stored. There will be sections comprising of the following topics:

1. Critical Updates and Service Packs
2. Picks of the Month
3. Recommended Updates
4. Additional Windows Features
5. Device Drivers

Items on # 1 category are a must download. On the upper rigth corner there will be a big blue button titled, DOWNLOAD click on it. It will take you to another page and hit the DOWNLOAD once again. Once the download is complete a Prompt will appears saying you need restart the computer. Just hit YES. Your PC will reboot and stuff you downloaded will be installed. Only items in Critical Updates and Service Packs are checked by default, in order to install updates from other categories you have to click manually. Most programs can be downloaded in combination with others. But some program require separate download and installation. Similar is true of all other categories. I'd stay away from INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT.
