I ignored the November update (at Abbodi's suggestion) and today it was replaced in the Windows Update panel by the December update. I tried to install .Net Framework November package alongside but it fails with error Code 643. What can I do about it? Could the reason be that I was previously using the Windows 7 bypass client and later switched to Windows 7 Server updates option? Thank you Abbodi for amazing work!
I ended up installing the KB5048676 security-only update on a backup laptop SATA HDD on an old 2007 Dell Inspiron laptop PC running Win7 Ultimate x64 on top of KB5046687, which also produces the same result in browsers working correctly again on Win7
OK, you already made all of this clear. It seems like you are repeating yourself. You keep talking about my 10 comments in 5 years. I don't get it. What about it? I have not needed to make anymore comments. And I would not be a good candidate to help so what of it? Sorry your comment is not obvious to me. What do you mean by my history is blank? I don't know what you mean by that. It is not blank. I am taken your advice and as I made clear in my post. I am trying to be self sufficient. I though I had missed something and thought someone could save me hours of time trying to navigate this site and you did. What are my plans after Jan 2026? Please elaborate. I will deal with it when the time get close. Why do you ask? I a trying to not add fluff and filler to all these posts that everyone is reading but you seemed determined to do so. I already told you I will do what you have suggested and already apologized. I am going to continue to catch up on my reading and read the recent stuff as well. Everyone has a different situation in their life. What are your plans for after Jan 2026?? How dare you. If you still have a issue, maybe there is some way to communicate it private so you are not filling up the feed with extra unneeded reading that people don't need to read.
Please, allow me to apologize. I should never have responded to your pleas. Jesus Christ said give them fish & they will eat for a day. Teach them to fish & they can feed themselves for decades. Simply a poor attempt on my part at providing some self-sufficiency. Jan 2026 is the date Win7 will, in all likelihood, be updated for the last time here. Many of us here already have our contingency plans in place. Again, an important topic mentioned, discussed & covered in this forum several times. Your history on the forum is blank. You have no profile. You have a nice day. Me? I am going fishing. ;>))
Thanks! I had the impression that I had installed it before but maybe it wasn't version 13, now everything works as it should!
_____ Windows 10 is perfectly compatible from a first generation Intel Core onwards. Just make sure to install it in offline mode, create a local account and disable some things like telemetry and run powershell commands to remove the bloatware but don't forget the -allusers argument in the powershell terminal commands. I am a computer scientist, I do PC service and I have several clients with computers like the one you mention, running since 2015 with Windows 10 without problems. It is recommended to have a fast enough SSD (with dram cache if possible) and at least 8GB of ram (preferably 16GB if you use games)
Then maybe better stay on officially supported 10, a second gen i7 should run anything fine, maybe 11 24H2 will get a bit to heavy for it but win 10 (LTSC and non LTSC) should run fine on it. out of the box.
Last time i tested a 24H2 release on my i3 M380 8GB ram it started to be a bit slow, could also be related to the new pny 512GB SSD i put in the old laptop to test on. But i will stop cluttering this thread with non windows 7 info now, if the user wants to start with 7 now it already stopped being (unofficially) supported for how many times i wish him luck with that
Hello, I have here a Win7 Pro x64 which was last patched in March 2023. Rollup: KB5023769 (2023-03-14) SSU: KB5017397 (2022-09-13) Bypass: BypassESU-v12_u I have now removed ESU-v12_u and installed ESU-v13f. But no matter which Windows category setting I use, I cannot install the current SSU (KB5039339). Error message: The update is not applicable to your computer. I also tried an older Rollup (KB5027275 from 2023-06-13) and also SSU (KB5028264 = 2023-07-11) as a test - no chance. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Or...since it's only a test VM anyway, I could do a new install. Are these steps still valid or is there a newer/better tutorial? Thanks and regards, Martin
Make sure you downloaded the update for the correct architecture. I have two snapshotted virtual machines (x86 and x64) with pre-ESU status and KB5039339 installs fine on both.
Use KB947821-v34 (System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 October 2014) to repair broken Windows Update components, then check on Windows Update for any missing updates. Reinstall the latest Cumulative update. After reinstalling the Cumulative update, restart your computer and then check for updates again in Windows Update to ensure everything is up to date.
