Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

[Topcat]

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

I thought the day would never come but here it is: KB3139929
Nonsecurity-related fixes that are included in this security update:
KB3146449 Updated Internet Explorer 11 capabilities to upgrade Windows 8.1 and Windows 7

Apparently if your computer is not part of a domain and you open a new tab in IE with this update installed there may be an advertisement for upgrading to Windows 10.
Sigh.

Makes one reconsider running unpatched. this is getting ridiculous.

Already been doing it for the last... I don't even remember how many years now. But certainly at least 5.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

I only read the first page of this post here so someone might have already suggested this. I just wanted to point out a free program that a friend of mine tried and highly suggests it for people who do not want Windows 10. I personally haven't used it but I found it for him.

http://ultimateoutsider.com/download...PanelSetup.exe (setup program)
http://ultimateoutsider.com/download...trol_panel.exe (standalone version)
http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/201...ly-remove.html (Info on the program)

It removes the Get Windows 10 icon from the system tray, deletes 10 if it's already been downloaded (but not installed), etc. There's also an option to undo the changes if you decide you might later want it.

I just wanted to let you guys know about this program incase you wanted a simple one-click method. As of right now, it does not block or remove any of the "telemetry" features, although it might become an option later on. It works on 7 and 8.

IIRC you don't need to any more as the 1 year free upgrade period expired and apparently the upgrade nagware expired too.

Digital river also had Sp1 images of 7... Are you sure you don't have that version?

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

Not sure how but my optional updates started showing as important on 7 pro. A few of the updates were on the list tied to 10.

According to my setupact.log file in C:\Windows\Panther :

2013-04-21 19:57:26, Info [0x0601ce] IBS Setup has started phase 2 at 2013-04-21 19:57:26

And I've never turned on Windows Update since then. Seems to be working fine for me.

BTW for those wanting a legit Windows 7 ISO you may want to get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...nload/windows7

The catch though is you need a valid Windows 7 product key. Retail. NOT OEM.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

Wohoo, my Win7 company laptop saw this update yesterday:

[URL=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3184143]KB3184143: Remove software related to the Windows 10 free upgrade offer[/URL]

About this update
This update removes the Get Windows 10 app and other software related to the Windows 10 free upgrade offer that expired on July 29, 2016.

The update actually removes more stuff than what is listed in my OP.
It seems those updates were for OEM's to integrate on customers laptops.
It even removes the shady IE update component KB3146449 which I mentioned here that was part of security update KB3139929

Lol, gotta love Microsoft for that: first they make a ton of "updates" to force Windows 10 onto people, now they make an "update" to remove those "updates".
... more pointless than a dog chasing its own tail.

I'm glad I skipped all of that by disabling updates on the (very few) Windows 7 PCs I maintain.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

ah, but did it *only* remove stuff???
a byte changed here, a byte changed there,
and before you know it, something slows down or randomly breaks.

and the solution offered - get win10!

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

windows 7 update is so f'n slow it'll probably never update anyways.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

Thanks Spork I just saw this and will let you know how it works.

So this did not stop the windows 10 from trying to install.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10

Finally got windows to update with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I went to this site

Then went down to System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and chose the appropriate operating system
