Same here, and I've done the same with many older MS OS's too. Updates are good things, but many create problems so my approach is to never update anything until many others have- I let them spend the hours and days it takes to find the bugs and the solutions
My internet connection is unstable and slow so updates happen when I've got the time. And this PC is just my toy, not my virtual heartbeat as it is with many others
It also depends on your usage. I have absolutely nothing on my machine that could hurt me personally- no banking, no bills, no CC statements or important personal data whatsoever. If you
do have this stuff, update quickly or you may be vulnerable to serious problems. If it's just your toy too, your biggest real risk is that the old HD will die and need replacing, and that makes data back-ups more important than getting updates. Get the updates when you can and let the others worry themselves to death
