Do I need to install previous updates before SP1 install?

    Yes - the SP1 update is itself dated around November 2010 so all updates after that time are relevant.

    Hi, thanks for the timely response. The published date on my Windows 7 SP1 update was 3/19/2013.

    @Noel.
    Does SP-1 include Office updates?

    Sorry, I may have confused. The 2014 Office updates I referred to were part of the 11 updates I had listed before I installed SP1. No indication that they were part of SP1. I should mention that my SP1 update was for win7 64 bit?

    Nope - Office Updates are a law unto themselves in many ways.

    Apart from anything else there's a possible 5 versions of SP1 for Office that you could be installing in Windows 7 - without even thinking about the bit-count! (Office XP, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013). They all work (although XP can be a bit flaky on some things.)

    The release date for Windows 7 SP1 according to MS is February 22, 2011
    The date it was released to manufacturers was early Jan 2011 - although the date for most of the files in the release is in November 2010.

    I can think of nothing that had an SP1 release around March 3013

    Well, it was "windows 7 service pack 1 for x64-based systems (kb976932)". That's what the history says. You are correct, Noel. It does look like early 2011, according to the MS site. Of course I can't verify now, but I really remember the update being shown as 3/19/2013 on my screen. I even wrote it down while I was having vague, undefined update failures on SP1. Oh well, it doesn't matter. You answered my question. Thanks.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that my SP1 update didn't even show up on the list till I had completed all updates through 2013. I do them in groups by dates.

    Just for information.
    I installed Windows 7 Pro/64 Nov. 2013.
    KB976932 is dated 11/20/2010 as of now.

    Thank you Noel and dcfixer.
    I was confused and now I'm back to my normal DA.

    That's probably the installation date, rather than the release date.
