This optional update will help verify that eligible Windows 7 SP1 devices can continue to get Extended Security Updates (ESUs) after the end of support date of January 14, 2020. A detailed analysis on this update can be found on my Windows 7 ESU Analysis post. This first section holds a single update required for ESU updates further down the list. I used both during this investigation in order to get to this minimum required set. I highly recommend both the KUC Update Checker and WSUS Offline Update utilities. Microsoft Update was enabled, and all updates offered through Windows Update were installed prior to starting this investigation. The base test image used for this research was 64-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. The following sections describe the updates required and provide links to each. After extensive testing, I concluded that 42 updates not offered through Windows Update would need to be installed to reach this objective.
With the May 2020 Windows 7 updates, I went on a mission to determine the minimum set of updates needed to enable all features within Windows 7, including optional hotfixes, and to have the most up-to-date installation possible.
