yes i would do it this way but many roads lead to Rome then i would add the individual silent setup switches for esu update and a reboot switch that is executed within 25 seconds.
When Win7 officially stops getting patched, what happens then? Will ESU still get you to the latest available patches if you reinstall later? How unsafe will Win7 be to run?
Hello. I'm trying to use this, but wondering about the differences of the update that Windows 7 Enterprise, and Windows Server 2008 R2 is going to get. Is it true that the update for Windows 7 Ultimate will be provided until October 8, 2024 after using this program? I'm curious if it is the same for Windows Server 2008 R2, or perhaps does it end earlier for ServerR2? Many Thanks! The Windows 7 series operating systems are the only choice for me, since the program I need doesn't work correctly on Win8 and higher.
On the consumer side, WIn7 is "officially" not supported now. I think you mean about the ESU. When Windows 7 gets unsupported by the paid ESU (Extended Security Update) by M$, Windows 7 will no longer receive updates, even with the paid ESU. SInce BypassESU utility is only for receiving the paid M$ updates on consumer systems, we will also stop getting updates.. which means we will then, in 2023 or 2024 be stuck with a real dead operating system no longer getting patched...

Hmm, Thanks. So there seems to be no difference between having WIn7 Enterprise and WinServ 2008 R2. Maybe, can we not grab the updatest that Azure VMs get? Thanks.
If the Server ones are in the MS update catalog next yr, I'm going to try them on 7. But one big bummer is that updates for Chrome & Edge on 7 end at the end of the yr. But I have LTSC and will only have 2 boxes left with 7 by then & one of them is POSReady 7, that I'm already having to manually update .
I am less concerned about browsers to be honest. There are modern browsers maintained for Windows XP. I have no doubt 7 will have browsers for some time. I guess I am wondering how insecure 7 will become. I am assuming with the system fully patched as it can be, running an AV program, and practicing safe computing practices that it will be fine. I mean, there are people out there sill running XP as a daily driver.
I just found the solution to my problem, why did I even not looked up this forum. Thanks for this sir!
Windows 7 has it built in. Go to... Control Panel - Backup and Restore - Create a System Image. Saved me a few times. On my system I have needed to reinstall Windows then run the recovery from the new install. Every time I have restored from the image I had to go to the 'Advanced Recovery Methods' section and run it from there. For some reason it always fails if I run it from the installation media option. Worth remembering if it happens to you.
Hmm, September 2021 rollup introduced a Bsod in ci.dll when used in a virtualbox vm with guest additions installed. all rollups since have been affected SECURITY_COOKIE: Expected 0000f88000c06111 found d367f2deff0a6746 They made a change to support drivers with multiple countersigned sha256 signatures better, unfortunately, its not really reportable is it lol
