I contacted microsoft support, they told me to go to this site https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/serv…er/default.aspx How ever i need to get volume neckline key and authorization number.
Would this site be of any intresrt to getting the paid updates?
Or does anyone know anything elase on it.
Would be nice to get these out to the public so we can keep the operating system alive.
Only thing their hasnt been much info on this issue, maybe we will only be able to get these updates once the final day of support.
More probable way to extend support up to October 2021 is to install Windows Embedded POSReady 7 updates, since the manifests for updatefiles destined for that OS ought to be compatible with Windows 7, especially since the OS’ codebase is Windows 7. This way is similar to installing Server 2008 updates for Windows Vista and installing POSReady 2009 updates for Windows XP.
So if i got the update files from perhaps say windows embedded i would just normally be able to install them on normal windows 7 ultimate is what your saying?
I could get a virtual machine emmebed and use this tool to get the files https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details…downloader.html would it work tho?
Updates destined for any operating systems being a derivative of Windows 7 (Windows Embedded Standard 7 - October 2020 EOL and Windows Embedded POSReady 7 - October 2021 EOL) theoretically should be compatible with the base, since the derivatives are also based on the NT 6.1 kernel. You can snoop around the Microsoft Update Catalog site and search for the updates (i could find 'em only for WES7, can’t find 'em for POSReady 7), but you shouldn’t need to worry about until Win7’s EOL will be very near.
As of somebody who might be able to collect the updates, there’s a guy over MSFN by the name of ‘greenhillmaniac’, who is behind the repositories of Windows Server 2012 (and a couple of the 8 Embedded Standard ones) x64 updates and 8 Emedded Standard x86 ones, that are compatible with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2008 updates that are compatible with Windows Vista that are hosted on MEGA. When the time comes, I’m pretty sure he’ll do a similar repository for Windows 7.
Okay. So just after the final update for normal 7 users i gusse windows 7 embedded witch i have running now will get updates, and can then run the MUSP files or Micorsoft update standalone package on a normal 7 machine.
Yeah just like that, like I said, Updates for 7 derivatives are compatible with 7 itself (the .msu installer will even allow you to install updates that way). Take a sample of the embedded msu updates and extract it by the good ol’ expand.exe. There should be a manifest file titled “Windows6.1-KB*-x*-pkgProperties.txt” somewhere so open it in say notepad++. There should be a variable called ApplicabilityInfo that includes the operating systems that the update package supports, which should obviously include Windows 7 Embedded and Windows 7 itself. There’s also the “Applies to” variable that will also have the “Windows 6.1” value but i think the applicabilityinfo is what it gears.
