Because your answer was rude, arrogant and overcomplicating and confusing, and this is my post I have the right yo do whatever I like with it. You don't wanna answer that's fine other people will give feedback OK.

Your original question (which you deleted) was nearly as rude which, all things being considered, aren't very rude considering that you're doing something very important without having done the necessary research to ensure its success. How did you expect people to answer when you ask questions like "Is it a big thing"?

Now, let's start over...

The answers on the other post are correct. It's not a "big thing" provided that you do an update after you've completed your installation. That's provided that you didn't get any error messages during the installation because you skipped over the updates.

There was nothing rude in my original question , and my question was whether the use Microsoft update only lists the updates or does the update itself which I still haven't got an an answer for

Your original question ask if you skipped it, was it a big deal. The answer hasn't changed. It's not a big deal if there were no failures during your installation and you take the time to do the updates afterwards. That also implies that its not "only lists the updates" unless you specifically only said to list the updates. 😉
