That includes Internet Explorer 11 and newer. Here we’ll show you how to integrate the Convenience Rollup Update and all the other required Windows 7 updates into a Windows 7 install disc. Windows XP has a popular tool called nLite to do this, Vista has its own version called vLite which doesn’t work too well with Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

A better option is to integrate all the updates into the Windows media so they are installed as part of the original operating system. Instead of getting everything through Windows update, a quicker way is installing patches from an offline source such as a USB flash drive or hard drive. But even that is not enough and it still leaves the system requiring dozens more patches to get fully up to date. Rather belatedly, Microsoft tried to reduce this problem by releasing the Convenience Rollup update in April 2016 which includes 123 patches. If you install Windows from one of those discs, there are dozens of patches and hotfixes found when you check for updates. Many Windows 7 users simply do not want to upgrade because the operating system is stable and does everything they want.ĭespite its popularity, the last Windows 7 Service Pack 1 install DVD was released way back in 2011. That means there are no more security updates unless you are a business willing to pay a fee. Windows 7 was the most used for several years but is no longer supported due to its decade long support cycle ending. Windows 10 has been out since 2015 and is now the most used Windows operating system.
