Install gentoo

install gentoo

This, just install Win7 SP1 and disable updates

>>57100400
It looks as if you installed some updates.

Oopsies, you made a whoopsies.

Never install updates on Windows 7.

>>57100526
So how do I fix my mistake?
Even safe mode tries to update and fails.

>>57100552
Stop trying to update for a start.

If it is trying to update when you boot, reinstall Windows and DISABLE updates.

Microsoft broke W7 upgrade so that people will upgrade to 10. So just install 10 it just wreks

If you are planning to take this advice, might I recommend Enterprise LTSB?

It gets rid of those terrible metro apps, cortana, and the ads, also disables feature updates but keeps security updates.

If you want all that, Windows 10 Enterprise is the way to go.

use the first ltsb not the 2016 version. It's buggy and has some performance problems.

>Installing updates
lmao at you kid

>>57100665
This. I installed the 2016 version, and hated it. 2015 is the best.

>>57100665
I've been using the 2016 LTSB for a while now and haven't ran into any problems.

>>57100753
I'm using it in a VM, maybe that's the problem.

>>57100697
what to do when a software requires a certain KB update installed and windows update refuse to work?
even trying to manually install the patch downloaded from the official site the setup program stalls in "checking updates" phase
fucking m$, I hate every second of using their products, they are incompetent at best

If this happened to me, I would just force restart. Make sure you note the time and date you restarted and when you think you started the update.

Then follow up with a check disk to make sure there's no problematic sectors. Then I would verify all the system files with the command 'sfc /scannow'.

After that, I would check the system logs and see if anything happened between the update and the time you restarted. The issue will probably appear in a large gap of time before you restarted. Then I would Google the issue to see if there's any fixes.

What problems are there with the 2016 version? I know that there were known issues with frozen network shares and updates still coming in automatically, ignoring group policy but I haven't experienced neither of those.
