    I wonder if there any possibility to port win8.1/server 2012r2 updates to win7/server2008r2?

    Backporting from newer OS is technically possible but it may involve all of work.
    There are updates/drivers/etc that have been backported/modded from W7 to XP for example. Or W8 to W7 as with the USB 3/XHCI driver
    Maybe individual drivers or files can be done but every month the whole update would be just too much work.

    Are you sure about this (and for how long would people install ancient and no longer supported by msft and most 3rd party software OS's)? I guess it's not like with the mentioned drivers.

    Yes,you're right.

    I think it only x64, not x86
    Did I misunderstand something?

    I think you need WU ESU Patcher - Standalone, not just BypassESU v12

    I have been using WU ESU Patcher - Standalone for the past two months and have successfully received the latest patches. I think this situation will continue until 2026.

    But I have a question
    The ESU of Windows Embedded Standard 7 has ended support as early as 2023-10/10
    Why is Windows Embedded Standard 7 still supported in the latest update?

    This should also not refer to POSReady, since it's not just x86, it also has x64

    POSReady 7 is custom SKU of Embedded Standard 7, available in both x64/x86

    Oh I'm so sorry, I confused (I was confused with POSReady 2009 only x86 )
    Thank you for the clarification.

    Why would they release and decide the extension 3 years ahead?

    Hi everyone! After having installed ESU security update in January (for win7 embedded) I haven't logged in again here until now... Someone informed me that the rollups for server 2008 (compatible with win7 64x) are still released until January 2026. So, the security only updates are all gone? We only have the rollups now? I had an issue with an older rollup and my machine so I stopped them, but I could give it another try if there is no other possibility...
