    Mine continue to report as 7600.16385 (slmgr.vbs -dlv)

    Old version= 7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD

    Newew Version= en_windows_7_ultimate_x86_dvd_x15-65921
    65921 is in the name of the Download I think, and i guess it doesnt have any connection with the build number or anything. Check the other Download, it has 8592x something.

    Edit : yup its the file name
    Win 7 Ultimate x64- File Name: en_windows_7_ultimate_x64_dvd_x15-65922.iso
    Win 7 Ultimate x86- File Name: en_windows_7_ultimate_x64_dvd_x15-65921.iso

    So its the same ISO image.
    On the other hand adding a newer build means Newer files are there, and that means the Hash Must Change. So you can think about it either way.

    @ pmc

    You said you upgraded from a version which already had the new KB972636 installed? Then of course the TechNet or any other will report the new build number. How can you not realise this?

    I think that he has misunderstood the build number with the File name

    The handful of (leaked) updates that are out there will elevate the build to 16399.

    I believe only one of them has officially made it to Windows Update so far. KB972636 installs an IE compatibility list update. I don't believe it's the one that updates the build number.

    There is not a "newer" build via Technet. It remains the exact same thing MS declared RTM, and has been unaltered since.

    Last I checked, KB675605 is the supposed GDR update that changes the kernel, and it's not yet officially out, nor was it incorporated into the (unaltered) Technet release.

    Hi again i had 7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD installed + the oem patches.

    I upgraded to en_windows_7_ultimate_x86_dvd_x15-65921 ( i was surprised here ) and after installed again the oem patches.

    The "Windows6.1-KB972636-x86" was the only one that didnt installed as it was already there.

    I dont recall that update coming from windosupdate.
