Windows 7 - Download W7 Update

Before i begin i have used the search tool on this site.

Is there any way you can download the latest Windows 7 updates as an actual file? Rather than "Check for updates". I currently get an error on a few machines and it would be easier to just go around and install the updates from a file... And if so, would it be possible from a Microsoft website? I've searched for sometime and i cannot find any such thing.

Again, sorry if this is a silly question.. but it has been plaguing my mind for a while now.

Thank you in advance.

hi sysprep, and welcome to sevenforums,

this link may help:

How to download updates that include drivers and hotfixes from the Windows Update Catalog

You can easily search the hardware ID for up to date drivers on the Microsoft Catalogue site, in the windows 7 "Device Manager".

ex: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2929&SUBSYS_022A1025, will display you all results.

Awesome.. thank you very much guys.

Appreciate the quick reply.
