    @Enthousiast
    Yes, it is, give me a discount, Oxynorm keeps my pain away, and maybe also my attention.
    But I can grant you that my intentions are good. :oops: ;) :angel_not:

    yea for a few years until Mozilla decides themselves to eventually drop win7/8.x support :p
    for now the latest FF releases still work on Win7/8.x - on all my old PCs running win7 or 8.1, I use latest FF ESR version available (not the standard non-ESR version)
     
  7. Yea me too using FF ESR 78.xx.x on my win7 . i know its old build of FF ESR but working flawlessly at my end with customized FF profile according to my needs :)

    Happy Merry Xmas & a Very Very Happy New Year in Advance

    smart choice to use only ESR Firefox :thumbsup:

    gonna wait & see what happens come Feb. 14, 2023 (patch Tuesday on February 2023 is valentine's day) if Win7 gets new patches then or not

    So I have a question. Microsoft recently released public cummulative update for Windows 7. Do I understand correctly, that if I install latest legit Win7 ISO and update via WU. I technically will be up-to-date for as of December 2022 and I dont need ESE updates?

    Or, MS being s**tty corpo they are, did not include any ESU security update into public one? I wouldnt be surprised about it.

    The last public non-ESU updates are from January 2020. The updates released after that date are still public (you can download them), but you cannot install them (they will roll back on reboot) without having a valid ESU license (or the Bypass installed).

    Installing a fresh ISO and letting WU do its thing will end up with an installation that's updated as of 01/2020. No further updates will be offered through WU without a license or the Bypass.

    Oh I might have misread, I saw new like 2-3 days ago boasting "Microsoft release new patch updates, including outdated Windows 7" and I thought it was an actual public patch-fix, not an ESU since ESU's were released monthly all 2 years so there isnt really any point writing news about mundane thing.

    This sucks then, I no longer have live Win7 available so I cant integrate updated in my old ESU image from May 2020 on WIn10. Are there are trusty public ISO maintainers for WIn7 pre-made ESU stuff?

    Maybe the news you saw was referring to the "legacyupdate.net/" site, but I don't think that includes the ESU updates.
