Vista Forums - View Single Post - Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

**Brink** · 03-19-2008

Hello everyone,

If the final Vista SP1 did not show up for you in your Windows Update in the Control Panel (Classic View), then this may help explain why and how to get it to.

Why you may not have SP1 in Windows Update:
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates

NOTE

What 32-bit or 64-bit Vista do I have?

Open the Control Panel (Classic View) and click the System icon, or right click Computer in the Start Menu and click on Properties. You will see the bit version under the System type section.
