I apologize if this has been asked before, but I've not found an answer.

With Vista no longer being supported, would I still be able to use Windows Update on a Vista client to receive updates up to the final release before the support ended?

Yes, you should be able to. I was able to fully update an XP machine not long ago. However, it's a bit slower than it used to be. You wont get anything new, but you should be able to update it right up to the EOL date.

Thank you. Now just to figure out why I can't get my Vista machine to catch up on updates. But that's a separate issue. Thanks again!
