    Devices that are so old that only support XDDM drivers such as Pentium 4 / Pentium D era are forced to stay on Windows 7 forever.
    Also, there's no longer a free upgrade path from Win 7 to Win10/11 so we cannot legally install a newer version of windows on customers devices

    Spyware, for one. W10 is not much more than W7 with spyware. I caught W10 spying on my online banking transactions. That's how Micro$oft makes its money these days, stealing your information and selling it to third party vendors.

    I have a disability, need accomodative hardware, and it works best on Windows 7

    And the "but my security!" argument is mostly bogus. 99% of PC security is user behavior. If you visit shady websites, download random torrents, and click every link you get in an email, it doesn't matter what OS you use, period.

    Practice normal safe computing habits, keep an up to date AV solution installed, and win7 is perfectly secure. Also, given it's age, Win7 isn't a target for hackers due to the diminishing user base. It is a waste of time for them, they are going to target Win10 and Win11 cause that's where most people are, and they are going to be targeting new features and the youngest code in those OS's due to them having the least amount of time in the wild to be tested, and that code doesn't even exist in Win 7. Win 7 is gaining security through obscurity.

    I'm sure it's been asked, but does every month need to be installed. I think I might have skipped October.

    As long as you use the Rollups and latest SSU, you can skip all 2016-10 > 2023-10
    except the SHA2 prerequisites KB4490628, KB4474419

    I have a Dell Precision M6800 17.3" laptop which runs Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.
    It rarely gets used, so it gets updated only every 3 - 4 months.
    Only the patch Tuesday updates for the most current month get installed.
    They supersede the updates for the previous missed months, so there's no need to install them.
    If you installed updates for September, then missed installing updates for October, then installed updates for November, you should be fine.

    Indeed, there is an update to the service stack, both in the standard x64 version and in the old x86 platform (KB5032383). Don't forget to install it if you want to continue receiving updates.

    Installed successfully:
    KB5032252
    KB5032341
    KB5032383
    Question.
    Do I need to install KB5032191 separately for IE 11 or is it already included in the KBs installed above?

    Всем привет.
    Windows 7x64 SP1
    Успешно установлен:
    КБ5032252
    КБ5032341

    Вопрос.
    Нужно ли устанавливать KB5032191 отдельно для IE 11 или он уже включен в установленные выше KB?

    Thanks. I didn't know you could update both 4.8 and 3.5.1 .NET. I usually try 4.7 as well and it fails and give up.

    You can install only 3.5.1 this is windows 7 internal version and 4.8 is the lastest version you can upgrade from 3.5.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 and 4.7.2.

    Install all updates from 3.5.1 and if you upgrade your old version to 4.8 you must unstall the update both.

    The 3.5.1 updates are rolling out from microsoft to fix security holes and the same is with the 4.8 but some stability fixe´s are included in it.
