    Hi,
    I did a clean install of win7 x32 home premium on a netbook.
    Just installed, without even putting several drivers, launch windows update to make upgrades, but nothing .... turn the bar endlessly (with the svchost process that reaches the stars creating lag to the PC) but I do not update anything. Advice on how to solve?
    thanks :)

    You may have to wait it out. I was there yesterday to update my Win7 and it seemed like it locked out. Tried to close it down and it froze. I just let it sit there and it finally went through.

    Thanks for that great tip. I will be trying that on the next installment of the simplix pack!
    Even though I don't use IE, That should free up some space for more updates as they are growing.

    I'm not completely sure. Is it a USB key that you made? If so, then you can apply the pack to the Windows 7 install.wim create the iso and remake the USB Key. Other than that I don't know.

    -EDIT-
    It looks like it might be possible With WinAIO Maker Professional that urie has mentioned. But I'm just starting to play with it and I don't use USB so I don't know.
