if I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Enterprise, are these the steps I should follow? 1. run windows update and install updates until there's no more updates. 2. install the Bypass ESU windows update prerequisites (KB4490628, KB4474419, Latest SSU (KB5017397 or later), KB3138612, KB4575903 and KB5016892) 3. install BypassESU (BypassESU-v12_u.7z) 4. install WU ESU Patcher (Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher.7z) 5. run windows update and install updates until none are available. Is this order correct? Am I missing anything?

And install all other fix updates from the microsoft update catalog manually. Remember that some updates are not offered in the internal windows update (catalog) from windows 7 itself.
Thank you, I didn't follow the instructions exactly, but I finally got it working. I had to do a fresh install, but everything works. I'll list the steps I did below. 1. Installed Windows 7 Enterprise 2. Installed KB3138612 3. Checked for windows updates, installed them, rebooted 4. Repeat above a few times until there's no updates available. 5. Ran MAS to activate windows. 6. Installed KB4490628 (it told me the update was already installed) 7. installed KB4474419 (it told me the update was already installed) 8. installed KB5017397 9. Installed KB4575903 10. Installed KB3138612 (it told me the update was already installed). 11. Ran BypassESU_12v - Selected option #1 12. Reboot 13. Checked for windows updates, installed them, rebooted 14. Repeat until there's no updates available. 15. Installed KB5016892 16. Ran Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher - Selected option #2 17. Reboot 18. Checked for windows updates, installed them, rebooted 19. Repeat until there's no updates available. Done! If you follow those steps, everything should work correctly and you should be as up-to-date as possible.
Sorry for asking a maybe stupid question, but I'm confused. Is current BypassESU also able to receive Premium Assurance updates up to 2026 if patched as Windows Server 2008 R2 with Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher? Or do we need a new version of BypassESU to be made? Thanks. Edit: oh... should have read a little higher. I guess we don't need a new version then?
current BypassESU able to receive Premium Assurance updates up to 2026 if patched as Windows Server 2008 R2... only for windows 7 64bits !
Yes new version is only needed for ".NET 4 ESU Bypass" to support new updates because current version emulate POSReady 7, which supposedly will not receive any further updates

Updates for x64 Server 2008 R2 just dropped, not yet using the new .NET 4.x standalone installer and here's what I got on 7 Enterprise. 2024-11 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB5046543) 2024-11 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB5046687) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.130 (KB890830) Don't see anything on Update Catalog for x86, R.I.P.
Tried installing both, KB5046687 failed with error 80073712, and KB5046543 with error 643. edit: nvm, uninstalling both and reinstalling v13 and the standalone worked for .net update, but the 2008 r2 update failed with "not needed"
