Alaron is also a moderator and was acting in that capacity when he posted...he probably noticed you were getting quite a bit of help already and just posted to moderate the thread.

You'll be able to update but it'll take time...lots of updates came out over the last 3 years.

No, doing a System Restore will reset the system settings back to the beginning (but that restore point is probably gone by now) but anything you picked up over the last three years will still be there. System Restore doesn't wipe the hard drive, it just reverts system setting back to when you made the restore point.
