    From the sound of it, the legacy tool allows to update a Windows 7 to be run on old PCs natively supporting Windows 7? Does it support upgrading?
    I need to repair-upgrade a few Win7 installation (component store corrupt beyond repair) and that would be just the right tool, then. :)

    It's a standard (legacy) win 7 ISO but with updates and driver integration (optional) and can be used for (inplace/repair) upgrades.

    Not going to happen, this project is meant to be able to create an uptodate ISO yourself, you can use this tool to create one based on simplix update packs:

    I just finished doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit in my Dell Precision M6400 Mobile WorkStation.

    I then used Simplix Update Pack 21.2.10 afterwards which included these 3 add-ons:

    I then installed the necessary device drivers and established a working internet connection.

    I then activated the Windows Update app and did a "check for updates".

    The only important updates that appeared were very outdated, so all of them were hidden.

    The operating system is up-to-date to February 2021. :D

    Sorry if this a dumb question. I did not see this in the original post, and have been unable to easily find it otherwise: Where do I get the add-on .wa files?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I assume I need the current dotNetFx one, because after running the UpdatePack, Windows Update is still pestering me about KB4603002 (2021-02 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework). Attempting to install it through Windows Update always results in an unexplained failure. I have tried rebooting again, and I have tried WinRepair, but it did not help.

    Once I have the dotNetFx .wa, do I just put it in the same folder as the UpdatePack, and re-run the UpdatePack? (This is on Win7 Pro SP1 x64, updating a live system.)
