    Unfortunately Windows Server 2008 R2 doesn't have a 32 bit (x86) edition and was only ever x 64.

    EDIT: Sorry I didn't refresh the page before replying and see that this has already been answered.

    Windows Server 2008 uses the same code as Windows Vista
    Windows Server 2008 R2 uses the same code as Windows 7.

    Does this mean there may be x86 updates available somehow in the future or is this likely just a glitch?

    Good to know. I think it is okay we skip the November 2024 update and jump straight to December 2024 when it gets released. From the November 2024 release article:
    So there are no big vulnerabilities, and waiting a bit over two weeks should not be a problem at all.

    PS: Same as with the GitHub comment, the href of the above link is broken, the correct link is (paste in the address bar):

    I have a question about BypassESU-v13f: So far I have selected "Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 category" in Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher. What do I have to do now in BypassESU-v13f under point [3] Configure WU ESU Patcher?

    You don't need to change or configure

    just install .NET 4 bypass if needed

    All downloads are in the first post of this topic. .NET4 bypass is built into v13f, but there is also a standalone patcher.

    Hello all,

    A TOTAL NOOB here. I have a 2nd gen i7, its pretty old and cant really perform that well with windows 10. So i was thinking of reverting back to windows 7. Anyway, I was redirected to this thread from the windows 7 download page of massgrave and NOTHING made sense to me. Can someone please, if they dont mind, explain to me the step by step process of what i should do ? I am not an advanced or heavy user or anything. I am a regular user who will watch movies etc and play some old video games, so i just want to make sure i have the required updates, as some video games require the visual c++,.net framework etc.
