    Oye menso, lee las reglas del foro antes de postear y entiende que este es Internacional, sólo inglés.
     
  4. So you don't need to install that bypass right now, just very close to the end of days. Understandable.

    And yeah, I was going to ask when was it necessary to remove the bypass. This is all clearer to me now.

    Good evening,

    I am a French reader and I have just registered, precisely in relation to the interest I have in the subject of this topic.

    What is the difference between the BypassESU-v2 and v3 versions?

    Thank you in advance for the explanations you can give me

    Sincerely

    Hello everyone from Italy,
    I made my registration on this forum because I need one information, please.

    I deeply hate Windows 10 so I am trying to keep Windows 7 as long as I can.
    I have two computers, the first one runs Windows 7 Pro and the second one Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I did on both computers the procedure:
    install the 3 prerequisites:
    KB4490628 -> KB4474419 -> reboot -> KB4523206
    - install BypassESU
    - install the ESU test update KB4528069

    Given that KB4490628 and KB4474419 were already installed, with Windows 7 Pro everything went fine, BUT once I did it on Windows 7 Home Premium trying to install KB4523206 I got a pop up message which said: "The update could not be installed" and I got stuck.

    Maybe I did something wrong, if not I hope it can help as a feedback

    At this point I am wondering IF BypassESU really works on home edition. If negative:
    1) should I switch on Pro Edition?
    2) Should I wait next year and see if maybe something will work on Home Premium?

    What do you suggest me to do? Thank you :)

    @FlyingLuka

    If you have installed KB4531786 (latest SSU), you don't need KB4523206

    Thank you @abbodi1406 ! So, the right sequence is:

    KB4490628 -> KB4474419 -> reboot ->

    Windows 7 PRO KB4523206
    Windows 7 HOME KB4531786 (that I have just installed in my computer a few hours ago by Windows Update)

    ... and then, for both, BypassESU and then the ESU test update KB4528069... and then read this thread to see any update and news ! :)

    At this point, after 14th of January I will be able to get new updates and patches just by clicking on Windows Update like I usually did?

    Forgive my ignorance, is it correct?

    Checking my understanding...
    From what I see, there is no longer any need to "update" from 7 ultimate to 7 enterprise?

    Not if all works, maybe only for when intel kills off CSM/Legacy BIOS, maybe for activation purposes Pro or Enterprise can become leading:)

    see updated 2nd post, it's for any edition

    no, getting ESU updates through WU is probably not possible
    the bypass only allow installation

    Is sliced bread all that good? I will admit some is. But others, such as white bread is not. Anyway, I prefer Windows 10, but my wife likes 7. But all things will pass, and as computers wear out, and get replaced 7 will no longer work. Life goes on.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
    Then tell me why XP is still a "thing", when a very small percentage of the world still hangs on to it after five years it was out of support for. Besides, 7 may go the similar way.
