Hi Insomn1a,
Using [1] above, it adds the WU's [Windows Updates] to the ISO. Then you have an upto date ISO with all the WU's included. Then you burn the ISO to a USB, because it will be too big to fit onto a DVD, and then install Win 7. Once you have installed Win 7 there will only be a few WU's that need downloading and installing.
Ok, now I see 7Updater, but that updater is used just for updates as far as february or he load the latest updates?
Macrium Reflect is a program focused on backups and recovery, the best it will do is create an ISO that you can use to boot from for recovery, but nothing more.
7UPDATER is for that, to load just updates in ISO?
Or is something else more better?
Hi Insomn1a,
7UPDATER not only integrates WU's [Windows Updates] but also integrates drivers for USB3 etc.
To get the ISO up to date, there are at present, over 240 WU's [Windows Updates]. Now rather than letting M$ Windows Update update your OS, which involves many hours of downloading, installing and re-booting, you can integrate all the updates into the ISO, then all you need to do is to create a new ISO for installation. There are two options available do this, one is a utility called 7UPDATER [see below], written and created by SIW2, and the other is DISM++ [see below]. Both these options are discussed and explained here => Update your Win 7 installation media.
7UPDATER: 7UPDATER.
DISM++ Direct download [zip] => DISM++.
DISM++ - Basic Overview
DISM++ is a FREE implementation tool that has the ability to perform Windows Updates [WU]. Some of the advantages [but not all] are:
[1] The GUI is very easy to understand and use.
[2] It is much faster than M$’s WU because it uses a different engine.
[3] It downloads the latest WU DB from the M$ servers, scans your OS, and then lists the updates available.
[4] It doesn’t install superseded updates like M$ does.
[5] It gives you the option of what you want to install.
[6] The pre-ticked updates are what is recommended and are similar to the WU critical and recommended updates. The un-ticked updates are similar to the WU optional updates.
[7] It warns you if an update:
[8] It doesn’t require re-booting between updates.[9] It can be used to either update an install.wim image OFFLINE, or to update the LIVE OS.
- Includes telemetry.
- Has known issues with certain hardware.
- Needs exclusive access.
- Is suspect.
- Your OS doesn't need it.
- Has any other known issues.
I hope this helps!
I don't know if is 240 WU, I installed first time 118 updates, after 6 updates, after 4 and in total 128 important updates but 1 can't be installed, is failed everytime.
What is with that important update, more exactly with "Windows Defender"?
Is failed every time when I try to install it.
Why don't you use a superior free Antivirus instead of Windows Defender?
AV Comparatives uses Windows Defender as a baseline test. Here's a paragraph from their 2018 results.
Avast is Product of the Year 2018. It received an Avanced+ Award in every test this year. It also takes the Gold Award for the Malware Protection Test, Silver for Malware Removal, and Bronze for the Performance Test. Our reviewers praised its clear, modern, touch-friendly interface and comprehensive Smart Scan feature.
