Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Post Installation, Help !

[BloatWarez7]

OK guys with your help I have so far sourced Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Installed it and then updated it with a Simplex update pack ! Im now wondering what else needs to be done. I'm thinking .NET framework, DX 11 ?, err I don't know. I have already installed my GPU driver but not sure what else needs to be done. One thing is to turn off Windows Updater ? Any help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No need to turn off windows update.

You can download the .WA packs and place them next to ( in the same folder as ) simplix update pack. Then run simplix and it will install them for you

net-framework-48-for-windows-7
vc runtimes
Directx

The .NET installation seems a little confusing. Can someone run me through it :/

I dont know how to explain it any more simply.

Which part dont you understand?.

If you are using english , you only need this for 64 bit
https://github.com/abbodi1406/dotNetFx4xW7A/releases/download/21.10.04/dotNetFx48_20211004_x64.WA

Or this for english 32 bit
https://github.com/abbodi1406/dotNetFx4xW7A/releases/download/21.10.04/dotNetFx48_20211004_x86.WA

If you are using a different language, then you also download the relevant language .WA file and put it next to the rest.

Ohh i'm misunderstanding something then. I don't know what the WA packs are for starters i guess. I simply followed the 3 links in your last post. The first link takes me to a WinCert - A Friendly IT Community site covering Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 7. It seems a little confusing. Do i just install 4.8 or do i need previous versions first and if so then do i need that other Update KB4019990 and if i do then i need the .dll as well ?

 

[SIW2]

if so then do i need that other Update KB4019990

No. simplix will do that for you if it hasnt already.

Do i just install 4.8

yes

or do i need previous versions first

no

Framework 4.8 from M$ net48-offline-installer

Open device manager. Is there any yellow alerts of missing drivers?

OK ive Downloaded the 3 WA packs you advised. I have already installed Simplex though so can i just run it again and it will install the WA packs without installing simplex a second time ? Or will it just overwrite itself ?

Simplix will only install those updates that aren't on your computer.
But it will be faster if you download and run the offline installer Download .NET Framework 4.8 Offline Installer

Thx Mhz, what do i do about DX and VC runtims,C++ etc ?

Also RE Device Manager. There is 1 Yellow Exclamation. Under Other Devices ! Unknown Device. If i open its Properties i get its Location : as On Intel (R) ICHI0R LPC Interface Controller 3A16.

I think it might be something to do with the case Front Panel headers but i've no idea.

 

[Megahertz07]

Framework 3.5

Visual C++ Redistributable

DirectX

Keep the framework flies (4.8 and 3.5) and C++ and DirectX in case you want to reinstall Win 7

Does anyone know if this version has Network Issues ?

Hey guys its been a week or two and i seem to be having issues with network traffic using Win 7 Ultimate. Just a thought but maybe its poorly optimized" or something ? Cant seem to connect to internet reliably ! I wont go into it here as ive another thread regarding the issue but perhaps its the Win 7 Installation that's at fault ?

 

[Megahertz07]

Is your Win 7 ultimate legit?

My suggestion is to set Services - Windows Update - Manual and on WU page set it to Never check.

To uninstall the telemetry, run cmd file to uninstall those KB files.
kb_spy.cmd.txt
Rename it as KB_Spy.cmd and run it.
