No. Get Win 7 from here: (one of the highlighted isos)
http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

And use DAZ Loader:

or

Can anybody explain to me why Win 7 SP1 refuses to update? I happen to reinstall win7 occasionaly on my work (also installed on my second PC at home, but wiped it), but it just won't update, it just keeps "searching for updates" and nothing happens. Even fucking Windows XP is able to find last updates that were released before it's end-of-life.

First install Windows
http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

and do not enable updates, instead, install these manually:

> [1] Installing and searching for updates is slow and high CPU usage occurs in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810

> [2] How to update the Windows Update Agent to the latest version

> [4] July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3172605

Restart after each. Now enable Windows Update and it should work fast.

Ok ty, will try later if I'll install windows again

You can get MSDN images from rutracker anyway

>>57786149
You only need the first two, but you should be using wsus offline anyway.

>>57786409
The 4th is the most important. And it can't be installed without the 3rd update.

>>57786463
It is not. You only need the first two to get the online updater to work.

How do I play games on Windows?

>>57786476
The fourth uodate updates the WU further. Tested multiple times, and without it WU does not work properly.

anybody got the list of win7 updates not to install?

doesnt work that good anymore. microsoft reverse cucked themself somehow. i blocked everything and was fine since my reinstall a few months ago, then i woke up the day after thanksgiving to see "windows updating"

>download windows 8.1 iso from microsoft website
>use ms toolkit to "activate"
>upgrade to windows 10 with the accessibility loop hole

Will I be able to roll back to windows 8.1? Will Windows 8.1 permanently be seen as legitimate like Windows 10 after upgrading?

>>57786149
THANK YOU

Not the one asking the question but I too have been trying to update a reinstalled win7 sp1 for hours, even had 1 and 3, but only after also installing 2 and 4 it finally fucking worked

Nice airsoft gun granny. You remember to wind it?

>>57789294
Not sure if it's all pointless, but there are some popular projects on Github for Window's host files that basically stop your computer from sending to a lot of the telemetry hosts (Basically tells your computer to just send them to localhost)

This thread is a wasteland just like the future of Windows.

If you don't mind me going full retard for a second. What am I looking at? Are these just ISO's ripped from real install disks? If so why download from this site in particular?

"upgrade" it with the media creation tool or with https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

MS doesn't care u pirating office, those are business products and surprise license inspection is a very real thing.

Hey, guys. I'm at my wit's end and hoping one of you can give me a hand.

I'm trying to activate Office 2010 Professional Plus on Windows 7 Ultimate. Windows is installed correctly and done up using Daz's loader and working fine as intended. The problem is with Office. I have done everything I can think of.

>Downloaded a Volume License of Professional Plus x64 and verified the md5 against that of the legit version - they match
>Read the ReadMe for the MSToolKit a hundred times, asked Google, posted on the MDL forums, etc.
>Rebooted several times
>Uninstalled and re-installed several times

I just cannot get MTK to activate Office 2010. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Tried Ez-Activate, and it flashes the window for a second and outputs nothing. Tried using Activate and get this bullshit error message which tells me nothing:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
at System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumerator.MoveNext()
at ..(String , , String , String )
at ...ctor()
at ..(Object , DoWorkEventArgs )

Tried Installing AutoKMS. It says AutoKMS is installed, yet Office is still telling me it's not activated.

I'm going out of my fucking mind and beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out (nearly literally). I'm far from computer illiterate and I RTFM. I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Toolkit (2.6.2, downloaded from official MDL forums and verified via md5). My Office is a volume license and not retail, so I know that isn't the problem.

Can any of you guys help? I will literally fucking love you forever.

>>57786149
thank you femanon@@ I thought my windows update didn't work cause I pirated windows.

your method worked flawless.

you still in thread?

>>57798923
Try KMSAuto again (from ru-board), remove anything related to it and install again

Friendly reminder that if you are willing to fix the ads and telemetry, Windows 10 actually has some good security features, and it finally stopped handling TrueType in the kernel: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/11/breaking-chain.html

Good luck with that. LTSB 2016 will also be left behind. You're better off with 7 or 8.1

I have a broken VMware Workstation installation after it tried to update itself, now I have 2 broken services with broken descriptions (they say error code 2 and if you try to open the services, it says something like object hasn't been found), so here's a question, how can I remove those services if I don't know their names?

Will Win10 ever be acceptable?

>>57802746
That question doesn't mean anything, child. Don't use it if no like. Use if like. See how fucking easy that was? Now KYS like a good teentard.

Is there any reason to upgrade my pirated Office 2007 to a newer version?

>>57785330
I need the latest win10 debloat script as well as the instructions

Yesterday I tried installing Plex on Windows 10.

The Windows Store has basically become a knock off Play store. The next day after installing the app I had a notification telling me that Plex was just installed and "You should check it out!"

It was limited to 1 minute of playback and asked for credit card information.

Left a bad taste in my mouth and I thought I would blog about it here. Fuck Windows.

>>57805958
>windows store

you deserve it

>>57805976
Its a headless machine that I briefly was using on a TV to see if it would play a 4k video from IE, it couldn't and I wasn't willing to load up the abortion that is Windows Media Player, so I was going to try the PLEX app because it probably uses ffmpeg/libav and I didn't want to deal with bullshit, but I got bullshit.

It's headless again and my 4k experiment is done until I decide to upgrade to pascal.
