I remember reading about Windows 7 going the way of cumulative updates of some sort and since there are some sysadmins among the members (although hopefully not making W7 large scale deployments already) I was wondering if there was a way of cutting the list down to less updates, or a best practices approach so to speak. KB3125574: The convenience roll-up, brings things up to April 2016.Īfter that Windows Update is still showing my some 41 updates, some of which I think supersede others? (look at the top of the list of the capture I attached) so I'm thinking maybe installing one of those roll-ups would do the trick. KB2685811 & KB2685813: For the 1.11 model drivers, not that it would matter for this system I think. KB3020369: April 2015 Servicing Stack updated (+ the current version of the Windows Update agent).

KB3004394: For the updated root certificates. So far, starting from the refreshed image of SP1 I've done the following: Given the myriad of updates there are for that OS right now I was wondering what would be the quickest route to a fully updated system, in essence, installing the less updates possible.

So here's some insight, I have to install Windows 7 in an old machine since that's what my friend prefers.
