The next section of updates enables all optional features not available through Windows Update. This optional update will help verify that eligible Windows 7 SP1 devices can continue to get Extended Security Updates (ESUs) after the end of support date of January 14, 2020. A detailed analysis on this update can be found on my Windows 7 ESU Analysis post. This first section holds a single update required for ESU updates further down the list. I used both during this investigation in order to get to this minimum required set. I highly recommend both the KUC Update Checker and WSUS Offline Update utilities. Microsoft Update was enabled, and all updates offered through Windows Update were installed prior to starting this investigation. The base test image used for this research was 64-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
The following sections describe the updates required and provide links to each.
After extensive testing, I concluded that 42 updates not offered through Windows Update would need to be installed to reach this objective. Click on the direct links below to download the Windows 7 ISO image on your PC.With the May 2020 Windows 7 updates, I went on a mission to determine the minimum set of updates needed to enable all features within Windows 7, including optional hotfixes, and to have the most up-to-date installation possible. With all that said, let’s now move to the download links.ġ. You can legally get Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SPI1) ISOs for Home Premium, Ultimate, and Professional editions.
But we would suggest using Windows 10/ 11, and you can run older software on Windows 10/11 using the tutorial linked here.įor your information, the Windows 7 ISOs are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit PCs and are available in English (US) language. If you want to use Windows 7 for some special dated software, you can use it but do so sparingly. Note: Since Windows 7 has reached End-of-Life, we don’t recommend using Windows 7 for day-to-day tasks. We checked the links on VirusTotal, and none of the security vendors flagged it. The links are directly from Microsoft’s servers and are absolutely legitimate. Thankfully, some official download links are still active, and you can use them to download the ISO files. Although it was allowing users to download Windows 7 ISO files from its recovery page until 2021, that option has also been removed now. Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 back in 2020, and thereafter, it stopped offering the option to download Windows 7 ISOs.
