Thanks for pointing that out Roy.
lukdyboy9559, have a look at 7UPDATER, written and created by SIW2 for how to integrate them into the installation media => Update your Win 7 installation media. You can do this using the new ISO you have downloaded above.
Many thanks this did just the job doing the fun job of sorting out all the drivers and windows updates
Also, in case you ever need boot media including various repair/recovery tools.

Hi lukdyboy9559,
You are welcome!
If you want a quick and easy way to update, then...
Run DISM++ [Deployment Image Servicing & Management] Windows Updates after a clean install on the LIVE OS, please follow my instructions below!
NOTE: The light blue text below are links to the relevant websites and programs, just click them!
DISM++ - Basic Overview
DISM++ is a FREE implementation tool that has the ability to perform Windows Updates [WU]. Some of the advantages [but not all] are:
[1] The GUI is very easy to understand and use.
[2] It is much faster than M$’s WU because it uses a different engine.
[3] It downloads the latest WU DB from the M$ servers, scans your OS, and then lists the updates available.
[4] It doesn’t install superseded updates like M$ does.
[5] It gives you the option of what you want to install.
[6] The pre-ticked updates are what is recommended and are similar to the WU critical and recommended updates. The un-ticked updates are similar to the WU optional updates.
[7] It warns you if an update:
[8] It doesn’t require re-booting between updates.
- Includes telemetry.
- Has known issues with certain hardware.
- Needs exclusive access.
- Is suspect.
- Your OS doesn't need it.
- Has any other known issues.
[9] It can be used to either update an install.wim image OFFLINE, or to update the LIVE OS.
If you decide to use DISM++, then it is best to run the DISM++ Windows updates a couple of times to make sure you get ALL the updates that are needed. DON’T install ANY of the ORANGE updates though [see numbers [6] and [7] above]. It can also install the required .NET Framework updates. Then just run WU to see what other updates are available, if any.
DISM++ - Run Windows Updates On The LIVE OS
DISM++ Direct download [zip] => DISM++.
Here is the quick procedure guide:
[1] Download the latest version of DISM++ [see the DISM++ Direct download [zip] link above].
[2] Extract the files using something like 7-Zip here => 7-Zip.
[3] Turn Sleep mode OFF in Power Options [you can turn it back on after you have finished].
[4] Double-click Dism++x86 or Dism++x64 and then click Run.
[5] Click Updates in the left-hand pane and then click Scan [bottom right].
[6] Once the scan has completed, click Install Updates [blue button to the right of Scan].
[7] If any warning pop-ups appear [see item [7] in the Basic Overview above], click Cancel and it will skip that one. There could be several of these appear so click Cancel to all of them.
[8] It is advisable to run the DISM++ WU a couple of times. To do this, just re-boot and Scan again [from number [4] above].
[9] Run M$ WU [Windows Update] to see if there are any other updates available.
That's it!
Create A System Image
Once you have your OS updated and running the way you like it, create a system image. This way, if things go wrong in the future, you will be able to restore your OS back to the exact same state that it is now in a very short time. This is because you will NOT have to install ALL the updates again, not to mention the amount of time needed to download and install them, and the numerous restarts required. There are two imaging programs which are very popular among members here, the first is AOMEI Backupper Standard [FREE], and the second is Macrium Reflect [FREE].
I hope this helps!
