    Thank you very much for your reply. I have done updates from Win7 to Win10 in the past without any problem (with backup always in hand). However, the upgraded systems at that time did not have any bypass installed. Therefore, the aim of my question was to find out whether Win7 BypassESU causes problems to the upgrade process, and, possibly, how to avoid them.

    Upgrade should still be possible (maybe to an older version of 10 first), however, it does not grant you a free license anymore. That ship has sailed.

    Article from 3 weeks ago tell, Windows 7 can have normally Esus to 2026 and will not need use to that server 2008 R2. Someone know? Will be version bypass after that changes? As Esus Windows 7. Well still Windows 7 have much fans and Microsoft need make something. xD

    It was the time when MS added three more ESU years to the licensing system (year 4,5 and 6). This sparked wild rumors, but in the end, only Server 2008 R2 still gets updates, and 32 bit is already dead.

    I ended up using the original Windows 7 SP1 ISO with NTLite to slipstream in the non-ESU updates and used BypassESU to bypass eligibility right in the WIM. A fresh install has allowed me to install the latest cumulative ESUs for both Windows Server 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework and still be able to boot up afterwards (i.e. problem is solved). So something must have been broken with the previous install. (This is just a VM I used briefly for another purpose so I was happy to blow away its virtual drive and create a new one.)

    SBAT was unlikely to be the issue given this is a virtual machine with single-boot Windows 7. (It has impacted my ability to boot Linux live USB on other, physical machines running Windows 11, but I found out about the SBAT update and turned on the opt-out at the time.)

    Code:
    C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /get-packages 2>&1 | findstr /i "kb50"

    Hello fellow 7 lovers. Just wondering if these updates will work later in 25. I got the Oct rollup. I really hate windows 11 with a passion.

    Many of us are up to date with Dec 2024 updates & waiting for Jan 2025 2nd Tue patches. We are expecting to be good through Jan 2026 with 2008 R2 Server security updates applied to our Win7 machines. One month at a time. We skipped over Nov 2024 updates due to serious BUGS.

    Revisit comment #1 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-extended-security-updates-eligibility.80606/ to update to File: BypassESU-v13f.7z if you have not already done so. Full instructions, warnings & explanations in comment #1 as usual.

    NOT yet. YOU are the first to report. I wait for WU to alert me to the availability then I come here to see how others are doing. I may wait several weeks to see if problems arise. We skipped Nov 2024 due to bugs & caught up with Dec 2024 rollout. I am still waiting for Jan 2025. Will check back Wednesday.

    I can report that you may have to search for updates a couple times before you are given the new SSU and until you get the new SSU you won't get the Jan 25 SMQR. After you get the new SSU the scan to find the Jan 25 SMQR may take several minutes. This is how it went on both my 7 and 08R2 VMs.

    Help: Even though I have Bypass version 13 installed on my Win 7 VM and have the .Net part of the Bypass installed, my VM won't get the .Net updates and when I try to install the .Net updates manually, it says on the install panel that they may be blocked. I am also running Bypass version 13 on my 08R2 VW, but it gets the .Net updates just fine though. So what is up with this?
