windows 7 updates files to download required

[Thorn1]

Hi all,

I wish to create a new windows 7 install on another drive but the updates are not working. My drive is failing and i need to create a new install on another drive but without doing a copy/back up due to it hasnt had a fresh install for some time and has far too many registry entries and takes ages to boot up. So i wish to create a new install with all the updates (manually installed if nessercery) and then create a installation disk with the new windows 7 and updates install prior to installing anything else.


I would like to download the updates and store them on a drive for future installs so i can continue using windows 7 (should i need to install a fresh copy again in the future) The microsoft update centre no longer stores these updates for me to download and save on a drive.

Does any one know of a site/location where i can select and download windows 7 updates from a fresh install?

Windows 7 home premium 64 bit service pack 1 (currently).

Additional: Is there a way of activating my new install of windows 7 by copying a file from the already activated version of windows 7?

Thanks in advanced for any help.

If you want to use to WU on a fresh install of win7, you can manually install KB3138612 first

Microsoft Update Catalog

http://download.windowsupdate.com/d..._f7b1de8ea7cf8faf57b0138c4068d2e899e2b266.msu

x86

the updates are not working.

Windows Update will be restored after installing KB3138612, i.e. a post-2014 build of the Windows Update Client. In January Microsoft broke the automatic selfupdate of the Update Client. This step

is no longer happening.

For all updates not to suffer failure, also install KB4474419 and KB4490628 right away.

1. Do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.
2. Run Simplix UpdatePack7R2 21.4.15 (most current version).
3. Install the necessary device drivers.
Once you're done, the operating system will be functional and up-to-date to April 2021.
