No no...I don't need an ISO, yet.....

I was asking if the heidoc downloader tool d/ls the latest official ISO because I did, in fact, use it to to make a slimmed down win7 install.

So was just wondering if I need to trash it

 

Run a SHA 1 check. Compare it to the ones I provided. IF they are different , then the ISO you used is not the original one.

 

I would NEVER recommend any convenience or quality rollup. Period. That is how Microsoft baits you into downloading and installing its crap. Read the name "convenience". Those are designed for lazy customers. Those not interesting in examining each update. I just explained that here. After Service Pack 1 every update needs to be scrutinized.

What you do is you install either Windows 7 SP1 and then you start choosing which updates feed your needs. Or you install Windows 7 Lite. Much simpler either way than what you suggested..

In the ancient civilization of Mesopotamian Babylon, the words Microsoft Windows means:

"very strong pain in the testicles caused by a kick between the legs"

 

That's what i originally was doing, researching which individual windows 7 updates are important to install, but there's A LOT of them to research.

Then Windows 7 Convenience Rollup (KB3125574) got released in 2016, and it intrigued me more to research that because it will be easier, and i think it contains most of the windows 7 vulnerability updates from 2009 to 2016.

The downside is that it contains some telemetry, but i am sure there's a way to disable all of the included telemetry/spying via tweaks.

Here's a list of all the updates included in the Windows 7 Convenience Rollup (KB3125574)

I just tried it..The Heidoc Tool downloads the Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 (english) ISO dated 12.04.2011. So you can use it.

There is a lot to do but once you do it, you don't need to do that again. Indeed, the first thing I do with a fresh install is exactly that. Decide which updates I need and install them. Then I clone the drive and create a system image, and am good to go.

I almost installed the Convenience Update myself, so thanks for mentioning this.
At this point (after looking at possibilities and going down the rabbit holes (for the uninitiated) of building my own I backed off
I have been using a restore image of an old slipstream install I did long ago with just some basic UI tweaking I like.
I keep my W7 machine on the LAN but off the internet so I figured I would not have to worry much about telemetry stuff.
I was hoping to just update mainly for compatibility or any performance increase.

 

true but its process crap using cpu...on strong machine equal but better without , anyway

 

Yep, Can't agree more... Windows 10 is way much better and faster.

 

Who cares? I mean really? WHo the fuck cares? Life is too short to be fornicating around with cockamy Win 7 releases. But don't let me put you off. The oncoming brick wall of incompatibility is coming at you at the speed of progress. The day will come when you can go no further, and you can't have all the new toys that everybody else gets to play with. If you can take that on the chin without whingeing like a spanked arse, enjoy Win 7 for as long as it lasts.

I can't be bothered ridiculing you for it, because i know where it always ends, and I feel sorry for you.

 

Installed here in a new 8th gen i7 and run flawlessly with all old AIR releases.

 

we will see...i dont thinks so...also this marked has its ceiling point...

in the meantime i have frustration free computing heh heh

 

offline i dont need updates and even on surf laptop their disabled...sure i can get THE pirates opinion about updates..but for me its working good without...just runtimes....when , i could feel malware/etc cpu usage cause i always have taskmanager on and watching

ditto.. youre warez life will be hell on future win distrubtions heh heh...EDIT it is allready for so many

--------------------------------------------------------------
and meta data stuff always on fresh linux boot cd....no need for fake security updates on win puter.....pretty not so smart to use a win puter for meta...you just need 30 euro puter to get along with meta data connected stuff


EDIT i kno there are worthy updates but i dont hassle this hassle of searching them out when i can give a fck forgive me....
i miss only 2 workflow updates thats it..sry for repeating myself
OK some of the ones posted here i installed but thats it..that 1% of all updates so nach dem motto
but main station stays untouched sp1

You are correct in what you told @wasgedn , however, if @wasgedn or any other W7 user ( including me) can't continue to make decent music with what we already have, no amount of new technology, vst updates, new DAWs, is going to make it possible.
We talked about this on another thread. Indeed, just look back 10-20-30 years and compare it with what we have today. If we were making music back then we certainly can go on for another 5-10 years with what we already have.
In sum, the end of Windows 7 support by Microfuck doesn't mean the end of the world nor the end of producing music with Windows 7. Just my 2 cents.

 

I think your mixing it up with WinXP, which made it to SP-3
