Why aren't you doing exactly that? Download the SP1 stand-alone installer, put it on a USB key and install from there on the other PC? It isn't like the Vista SP1 update is difficult to find:

You need to download the stand-alone SP1 download that matches the PC you want to use it on. If you are running 32bits, then yes, that would be the plain x86 version.

once ive downloaded and saved the updates to usb drive and obviously inserted the usb into pc and located files, will it be a straight forward installer or does the update need to be moved to a certain location and commands run to tell the pc where to find it and how actually update or have commands to boot from usb or anything like that? im very sorry for being so ignorant this is my first pc and as you can probably tell im not very knowledgeable on the subject yet once again any help is massively appreciated thank you

What is the specific, full filename of what you downloaded, and from where?
Is the extension .iso or .exe?

The filename should be this:
Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe

Unsure of what you've downloaded.

As USA said, the file downloaded from the Microsoft support site should not be named anything like "unconfirmed" so you either aren't downloading from where you are supposed to be or may have a browser plugin or malware interfering with the download.
