Not able to update my browser from Internet Explorer-8

262 views Asked by At

I inherited a neglected system with an old fileserver running Server 2003 with Internet Explorer 8. Now I need to do some basic updates in order to migrate to a newer server but I can't update IE 8 because I can't use IE8 to browse to a site to download something more current. Am I permanently stuck in this catch-22?
