You don't install any updates or change anything once the machine is setup and performing its duty. If the hardware fails you replace it with similar hardware and install the original software from CD again. I see windows NT on ships, windows 2000 in power stations, etc.

Weren't failing legacy computers on bridge systems one of the contributors to the Navy destroyer crashes?

Improper maintenance of worn out components can cause a failure resulting in a crash, be they computer components, electrical components, or mechanical components.
