Hi,
Long time user and several time donor to WSUS, a truly great product that saved me loads of time over the years.

So many post on subject Win 7, so sorry for trying to get a short answer.

1)
I have one already installed WIN 7 Ultimate, that I have not updated in a while, is that still possible without breaking anything using WSUS 11.9?
Trying to make a build, and I do see it gets stuck here and there, some downloads goes a bit and then stop and so on.
Would it break anything on my current install if doing a update with security/net/c only selection?

2)
Is it at all possible to do a clean install of WIN 7 Ultimate and then using WSUS 11.9 to get somewhat up to date?
Or have they blocked me from using my bought software?

Many Thanks for answer in advance.

Regards,

Please use wsusouCE from here:
https://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10194

Then download the 2020-01 catalog from here:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e5be7x13f5cd6/wsusscn2
Save it as .\wsusoffline\client\wsus\wsusscn2.cab

Open .\wsusoffline\cmd\DownloadUpdates.cmd with an editor and find these lines:
Code: Select all
%DLDR_PATH% %DLDR_COPT% %DLDR_IOPT% ..\static\StaticDownloadLinks-wsus.txt %DLDR_POPT% ..\client\wsus
if errorlevel 1 goto DownloadError

Replace them with
Code: Select all
rem %DLDR_PATH% %DLDR_COPT% %DLDR_IOPT% ..\static\StaticDownloadLinks-wsus.txt %DLDR_POPT% ..\client\wsus
rem if errorlevel 1 goto DownloadError


Then run wsusoffline.
I cannot promise, that all files are still downloadable as MS is taking links down after they discontinue the support for some product.

You could also try SimpliX update pack.

https://blog.simplix.info/updatepack7r2/ (Site is in Russian, download link https://update7.simplix.info/UpdatePack7R2.exe). The downloaded file will automatically fetch the latest version of the pack, and it can be re-used. Updated monthly, usually a few days after the official Patchday.

I'm using SimpliX for creating up-to-date Windows 7 ISOs, but it can be installed to live systems, too.
