Bud Weiser above seems to have a good option for downloading Windows 7 versions.

If I remember correctly I bought some 32 bit & 64 bit versions of Windows 7 SP1 CD/DVD - Windows 7 SP1 was just like the original Windows 7 release but with a load of updates all included.

There were two other updates released to the public by Microsoft that I've got

April 2015 Servicing Stack & W7 SP1 convenience rollup - They may be available online - These updates would be handy for someone who already has W7 SP1.

There will be other places like Get-Into-PC - Where some OS's are available

I don't tend to update anymore on Windows 7 - Not since the 7700 K got made "not working" due to one of the updates from Microsoft because someone didn't want you to use 7700 K on Windows 7.

Disable updates in component services in Windows and use another machine to browse the web - Just an idea

thank you !

It is,- at least for me,- the best option since many years.
The update packs allow the user to decide what to install and what not,- so you´re able to get rid of some bloatware too.

I´ve set to "manual" on every DAW machine.
That way it looks for updates when I don´t do work.
Once being downloaded, it asks for installation or not.
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is the only Win7 component receiving updates anyway.

Win10 / 11 is a different story.
Here it´s set to "automatic", then asks for installation NOW,- or later.

Before I do work, I usually go to "System" > "Windows updates" and have a look if here´s something downloaded and waits for installation.
I prefer performing installations and machine reboots then.
When ready, I do work.

I think my Windows 7 updated itself yesterday. It's working fine. I hate the automatic updates, cause they always shut down Scope. I always keep my PC on.

Automatic updates can be annoying particularly if they interfere with programs such as Scope. It's great to hear your system works correctly but turning off updates by default may help you avoid surprise shutdowns. Stay alert![https://nullsbrawl.gg]Null Brawl APK Download[/url]
