Windows 7 was the most used for several years but is no longer supported due to its decade long support cycle ending.

That means there are no more security updates unless you are a business willing to pay a fee.

Many Windows 7 users simply do not want to upgrade because the operating system is stable and does everything they want.

If you install Windows from one of those discs, there are dozens of patches and hotfixes found when you check for updates.

Rather belatedly, Microsoft tried to reduce this problem by releasing the Convenience Rollup update in April 2016 which includes 123 patches.

But even that is not enough and it still leaves the system requiring dozens more patches to get fully up to date.

Instead of getting everything through Windows update, a quicker way is installing patches from an offline source such as a USB flash drive or hard drive.

A better option is to integrate all the updates into the Windows media so they are installed as part of the original operating system.

Windows XP has a popular tool called nLite to do this, Vista has its own version called vLite which doesnt work too well with Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Here well show you how to integrate the Convenience Rollup Update and all the other required Windows 7 updates into a Windows 7 install disc.

That includes Internet Explorer 11 and newer.NET Framework versions.

This means minimal updates are required from the start and Windows doesnt become bloated with hundreds of separate updates before you even start to use it.

The process is quite easy once youve gone through it once or twice.

Downloading the Required Windows 7 Updates The first thing you need is obviously a copy of all the Windows updates to integrate into the install media.

For this purpose, we are using the Windows Updates Downloader (WUD) tool.

Sadly the WUD Windows update lists have not been touched since 2015 and the project appears to be pretty much abandoned.

However, with a custom third party update list its still one of the easiest programs to use for downloading updates and hotfixes from Microsoft.

Download Windows Updates Downloader (version 2.50) and install the program.

Download the following update list to match your 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 install media.

The below update lists have been created by Raymond.cc and include required patches and hotfixes from Microsoft to the stated date.

Download Windows 7 Updates ULZ File 32-bit (updated January 16th 2020) Download Windows 7 Updates ULZ File 64-bit (updated January 16th 2020) Note that these update lists will be the final version as they include the last patches released by Microsoft before the end of support (any bugs or errors will be fixed).

Optional update KB4493132 might be offered for download during an update check.

This is the Windows 7 end of support popup nag which is not required.

These lists do not contain all available Microsoft patches but those that will bring a standard system up to date in accordance with Windows Update.

Double click the downloaded ULZ file to import the list to the WUD program.
