    I summon Abbodi1406 to this thread.

    Gentlemen, do I understand correctly that the update for Windows 7 - "dawg is died", no more waiting?

    What I'm asking is, can I now tear down all the Bypasses and patchers and install Windows 10?

    You are of free to install whichever OS you like.
    Have you considered Windows XP? I have not heard anything bad about in years...

    Suppressor will continue to work

    i don't think they will change the updates themselves (.mum files) to block non-Embedded

    Firefox 115 ESR ends Sep 2024
    Maxthon (chromium based) continues to support Win7 & older like XP. It is also current & actively developed & updated. Its origin is Chinese if that is an issue.
    Most others have or will soon end Win7 support.Use your fav search engine or use the link kindly provided by @alzcoew397 .

    No updates with the 2008 server patched ESU today, as expected.

    Ran the ESU patcher again, choose option 1 to change to the Win 7 Embedded option, rebooted, checked for updates and 3 appeared. Ignored an old one from 2016, installed the other 2 new ones and all good. :)

    Thanks again!

    Today's updates installed smoothly so it's a good sign we can continue with the rest. Finger's crossed.

    WU alerted me to updates available. I download & install manually. I use WU for alerts only. Fewer problems historically for me that way. Home Premium Win7 on an Acer Aspire laptop. These are the ones I installed:

    Strange mine didn't find new updates for Server 2008 R2 yesterday but found them for Embedded. I'll patch back to 2008 R2 and try again next month.

    Good thing I had the foresight to install Server 2K8R2 as my main OS-- which is actually showing unintended benefits like this more often, as the result of my long-term project to build a full server as my permanent replacement for all desktop forms years ago (never totally finished the hardware part through). Funny to think I've stopped using vanilla Win7 and the server variant's former fringe-benefits are now it's sticking point!
