    All windows 7 versions updated for only 6gb seem very handy insted of doing it myself every time.
    Also the ISO's are only 6gb for all versions insted of only Ultimate.

    Only Gen2 knows if his releases are trustworthy. He may be legit but better safe than sorry.

    Why don't you just make your own? Just read the simplix sticky thread.

    I can tell you right now you're doing something wrong. First thing that comes to mind is using the wrong iso for base.

    This, quoted, seems to be the essence of the problem. I have been using generation2 releases ever since Murphy78 stopped making releases. And occasionally they just don't work. Not often, but it does happen. And there is no location where you can go and get the latest information on whether a particular release is good or has problems.

    Luckily for me, I always have multiple computers running, and if one release doesn't work, I can just drop back and start over with a different release. Why don't I build my own, as suggested here? Does the word "lazy" give you any ideas? (smile)

    PS: and a tip of the hat to Mr Murphy78. I don't recall any of his releases ever causing the slightest problem.

    Because he never chopped (afaik, only once with his 2015 LTSC Privacy release) or modified his releases, only the diskpart & apply image script, DaRT and updates added.
