@abbodi1406 thanks for the first ESU, I was looking forward to it. i just tried to install it and it was installed successfully on my win7 pro 64bit machine.
You're welcome. There's also this one: 2020-02 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4537829) Windows 7 Security Updates 2/10/2020 n/a 9.1 MB
So for short you need: The March 12, 2019 servicing stack update (SSU) (KB4490628). The latest SHA-2 update (KB4474419) released September 10, 2019. The January 14, 2020 SSU (KB4536952) or later. Install Bypass The Extended Security Updates (ESU) Licensing Preparation Package (KB4538483) released February 11, 2020. Group B KB4537813 Security Only Quality update for Windows 7 - Feb. 11 Group A After installing the items above, Microsoft strongly recommends that you install the latest SSU (KB4537829). If you are using Windows Update, the latest SSU will be offered to you automatically if you are an ESU customer. That will be KB4537820 Security Monthly Quality Rollup update Windows 7 - Feb 11 And the (KB4537767) Internet Explorer 11 x64
Old update: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-7-hotfix-repository.19461/page-531#post-1576344
after installing the bypass, please tell which update to install first as it seems very confusing for a user like me
Please excuse me, but I don't think that what you've written is accurate. I've been able to successfully install all three of these without installing KB4538483 beforehand: 2020-02 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4537829) Windows 7 Security Updates 2/10/2020 n/a 9.1 MB 2020-02 Security Only Quality Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4537813) 2020-02 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB4537767) If I've understood Abbodi's comment about KB4538483 correctly ("It's only required to get ESU through WU"), it's only a "prerequisite" if you want to use the "Windows Update" feature, which I don't. Since I have several machines to update, I find it faster to download and install the files manually. In any case, just out of interest, I'd like to hear from someone who's installed KB4538483 to find out whether, after successfully installing it, it's actually possible to use Windows Update as usual. Last but not least, Windows Update just informed me that this is available: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - February 2020 (KB890830)
