Can I install this to have Security Only updates from 2018 up to now in a single file?
I just reinstalled my win7 from an image I saved in 2018 and I was wondering if I had to go back month by month and DL every single Security only updates released since then or this is a quick solution without installing any other unwanted things.


Thanks for who can answer

You have to install every months Security-only updates from 2018 until now. The title is a little misleading as these aren't actually rollups. Only the "Security Monthly Quality Rollups" are rollups.
You'd also have to install the latest IE cumulative Security update (KB4577010). Those are also rollups so you only need to install the latest of those.

The easiest way is to just go the rollup route, or use something like Simplix to get you up-to-date.
