Save Downloaded Windows Update Files For Re-Use

Trouble:

You download lots and lots of windows update files from Microsoft. One fine day if your Windows gets ill and need a re-install, you will have to again download all those Windows Updates after a fresh install on windows. It is such a waste of time.

Another case is when you have a computer which is not connected to Internet, what will you do in that case? So the question is:

Can I save the Windows update files for re-use?

Fortunately the answer is Yes! Saving the windows update files on a disk will help you install these files on a fresh installation of windows or to install these updates on a computer which is not directly connected to Internet. For this we can use some tools. Lets see the details of what these tools do and how they work.
