Solved Question regarding windows key and upgrading

[Megahertz07]

Are these updates the only one needed to be deleted?

I don't know.
But to not have them reinstalled, you should set WU to never and install security ONLY updates.
Did you read the linked post?

The link posted is an old update, my windows 7 pro is all up to date. I need to go back and delete the data collecting ones.
Im thinking now maybe i should keep w7pro and dual boot w10. After all this pc is my main computer and i do need it for daily uses. Will dual booting effect my current hdd? i have 5 non os hdd in my computer. With w10 dual booted will it be using my existing hdd or will i need a new hdd for the w10?

Thanks soon as i have some time on my hands will start the process with the link provided. Will creating a system restore point be enough in case deleting updates goes wrong?

Ive never done dual boot before, will having w10 on a separate drive still have start prompt asking me which windows to boot?



Is simplix trustworthy? Should i run it after i delete the data collecting updates or after i delete all updates and starts fresh?

System restore is better than nothing. I use AOMEI Backupper and external HDD.
You can view the batch script I provided from my OneDrive. You can right-click on it and open it with notepad.
here is the code for removing an update via batch script
wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /quiet /norestart
Will run from CMD or in batch file, which is where I copied it from. Yes, there is a colon between KB and number space before /

Dual boot, no Windows boot manager handles that when you have it set up with EasyBCD or similar program. CMD method is more difficult. I dual boot all the time. Win7 Win7, Win7 Win10, Win10 Linux Lite.

Yes, Simplix is trustworthy.
Should you run Simplix after deleting the data collecting updates. What is the point. If your current with all the other Windows Updates, you delete the telemetry updates you wish, there is no need to reinstall the update that are already there.
Simplix UpdatePack enables you to update your live Windows 7 system as well as integrate hotfixes into a Windows 7 distribution. It saves having to go through Windows Updates 230+ updates since Win7 with Service Pack 1.
Simplix doesn't install superseded updates as Win Update does.

You can also have a look at DISM++. It scans, and lists available updates with orange highlights on the problematic ones. Telemetry and other issues
Here the links

Direct Download DISM++

One important rule when installing Windows is to detach (SATA or power cable) all other drives, leaving on only the target disk.
If you leave any other disk with Windows on it you may end with the boot loader in one disk and the OS on another.
