Staff PsychoPappy 4 Posted November 14, 2023 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2023 I manually download the updates for Windows Embedded POSReady 7 (listed as for Windows Embedded Standard 7) from the Microsoft Update Catalog, and use them to update Windows 7 using the Windows Update Standalone Installer (WUSA) as the updates are fully compatible. This also requires the use of BypassESUv12 since these are Extended security updates, works like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Bier Posted November 15, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2023 Isn't this all getting a bit masochistic, hanging on like this to Windows 7? if I had to do this for the 50+ workplaces in my company I'd be living there! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff PsychoPappy 4 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Staff Share Posted November 16, 2023 @Bier Well, it is just one computer after all. :p i'll reluctantly depart Windows 7 as my main OS when i get a new computer, which may happen soon. if i had to however, i'll be good on security patches until October 2024, for both Windows 7 and Firefox. Firefox ended feature support for Windows 7 through 8.1 with version 115 so i'm now on the ESR Channel, which 115.x esr will be supported until September 2024. As time goes on though, living on Windows 7 will get harder and harder, and harder as software stops supporting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
