This is not really true. Using Firefox as a browser there is a site called 'windizupdates' located at www.windowsupdate.62nds.com and it will tell you what you need after you download their 'checker' just is on Microsoft Update. I repeat, you must do this through Firefox which can obtained at www.mozilla.org . Hope this has been helpful.
