I haven't made any updates in over an year, since the stupid Win10 was forced upon users. Attaching my screenshots for the updates pending on my list. First one is Recommended, second one is Optional. I had removed auto update back then.
Can anyone suggest or point out, which ones to leave out. I have absolutely no interest in Win 10 & any other which would cause performance issues for my specs.

Do rollups include upgrade to Win-10 ? ... and I am not too sure what rollups represent ?
I have a Lenovo laptop e540 purchased in Aug 2015 with Win-7PRO (sp1) x64 ... only unpacked in early April-2017 (5 to 6 weeks ago) due to my ongoing health issues and my fear of losing Win-7.
I have looked at MS17-010: Security update for Windows SMB Server: March 14, 2017
- I assume MS17-010 is for servers ?
I know the Lenovo needs a major OS update ... but what can I do in the mean time to minimize the risk with the current climate of "WanaCryptor" ?
Is the WinXP patch KB 4012598 suitable because it is listed on this youtube ...How to Install Windows XP Patch to Protect Against Wana Decrypt0r (aka WanaCrypt0r) - YouTube
Do I have to install all rollups, OR is the last rollup sufficient for my Win-7 PRO x64 ?
Thank you :)

Windows 7, 8.1 to Adopt Patch Model | SecurityWeek.Com
The optional upgrade offer to windows 10 has long finished for qualifying Operating systems
Microsoft has also released a free update for the obsolete Windows XP and Windows 8 to protect against the recent ransomware pandemic. ("KB4012598")
Windows 7 and 8.1 are safe from the update if fully patched, latest rollup should be enough as they are cumulative
Windows 10 does not have the Vulnerability, (weakness), that was used by the ransomware
Microsoft Update Catalog
The windows 7 & 8.1 update is included in the last roll-up, and windows 10 is not vulnerable to the threat, so unless you are running Vista or XP or one of the old server builds then these do not apply
