I did not take it as an offense, and i love your analogies man, really enjoying people with humor like you around here. What I wanted to say is w10 just ignores ms telemetry domain redirections to my knowledge.
#7802 This is double funny, thank you! 1. Which AIDS-like problem should I have caught in the twelve(!) years since updating Win7 OS to 8 was possible? 2. Why would anyone who considers "privacy reasons" important use a browser like Supremium, where you cannot even replace the Google search with duckduckgogo or any other search which does consider "privacy reasons" important?
This is not the forum for this topic. Go to: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/browser-support-for-windows-7.86383/ I moved my answer there & will not speak on browsers in this forum again. If your comments start disappearing this is why & maybe a good place to look for them though they often get deleted & not moved. Quick note that I used DuckDuckGo as my default in Firefox, ungoogled, Yandex, Maxthon & now Supermium web browser. It is possible. Some are a bit more complicated than others to setup but all are possible. I no longer recommend Yandex (pure Russian), ungoogled is being revived, Maxthon (pure Chinese) & Firefox is dying Sep2024.
You say that as if some underground hacker group produced and distributed these updates on behalf of Microsoft. What is so shocking about Microsoft's "2024-02 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Server 2008 R2" update working on Microsoft's Server 2008 R2? The question here has always been how do we get these updates. We already know they work. - Not an "urgent security fix". This has never been true. Microsoft always sits on rollups for a month before bestowing them upon their public at their discretion. Your machine with the Feb 13th 2024 rollup installed is running a version of Windows that M$ built on January 8th 2024 and hoarded until Feb 13th. Your machine is always at least one month out of date. Actual component based servicing died years ago. - Not "forced to release" this update. This has never been true. Software monopolies this massive are never "forced to release" updates (forced by what, hm? there are no regulations, no threatening bigger fish). Every action they take on their products & services has been planned many years in advance, especially when there are hundreds of billions of dollars riding on those actions ($211,900,000,000 publicly in msft's case). Microsoft sold agreements to update NT 6 until at least January 2026. The revenue from that (which is beyond simple dollars) has funded, is funding, and will fund their operations. Microsoft intends to collect this revenue, and so they will fulfill their contract. They were never "forced" to do this. They voluntarily chose to create & sell the Premium Assurance program to chase the money they smelled, and they will continue to execute it so long as it is profitable. - "Microsoft doesn't say" anything about <abc> or <xyz> or whatever. This has always been true. Yes, they are great at lying by omission and are also great at normal lying as well. In both cases this means you need to observe their actions, not their words. M$ will tell you whatever scary words it takes to get you to loosen up your wallet for them. "No more ESU! It's over! There's no Year 5! We never sold Premium Assurance! Server 2008 is dead! Buy Bugcrash 11 today or else!" Its centuries old business propaganda, and it still fools the unwashed masses so very well. Were you convinced? I'll direct you and all the other Microsoft/megacorp novices to some posts I made last year on these topics. They may answer some of the questions you have. Regarding NT 6 update policy: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-356#post-1778169 Regarding Years 5 & 6 literature policy: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/bypass-windows-7-extended-security-updates-eligibility.80606/page-380#post-1806858 Lastly, I will say please don't feel singled out by this post. We periodically get people here who are very confused/misled about these matters, but not everyone bothers to post their thoughts. There are many silent lurkers with the same thoughts as you who will benefit from having those misconceptions dispelled. Those who do post, however, sometimes come back bitter and personally offended when they are educated, hence this last little paragraph here.
Just remove the browser themed comments to your posted link. That is how I learned to pay attention when warned that I was bringing in subject matter that should be discussed elsewhere. ;>)
I am clean installing Win7 Sp1. With an ISO that has all "public" updates until the "end" of Win7 in 2019. 1. Can I do ALL updates until today, with ESU 12? 2. Are there complete downloads for all updates (cumulative, I believe is the english word?) ? I use a stand alone, one user, desktop? I would really be grateful if someone would give me the KBs, if possible, so I can get them from the MIcrosoft Update Catalog. If there is already a similar post to this (I could not find one) please, also let me know. Thank you
A basic question: I downloaded the ESU12 from post one. Is ESU 12 good for all updates since the official stop, or do I also an older one for the early ones? I think that was in 2019? (I am doing a clean install of an Win7 Sp1, with only "public" updates) Thank you
The official end of Win7 was Jan 2020. There might be some precondition updates needed before BypassESU can do its magic. The script will inform you of which updates are missing.
Thank you, yes, I thought I read about the pre-requesites. I will go step by step and do the install on an old 100Gb SSD... and then use Macrium once it works properly.
why im getting this update ? it popped up today. im using win7pro with all updates installed including bypasstool v12
If you question it run "check for Updates" & see if it pops up again. If it does then update. If it does not then problem solved. ;>)
