Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for Windows 7 in January of 2020 and offered the windows 7 esu (extended security updates) program to businesses that we're still running Windows 7 and server 2008 r2
The windows 7 extended security updates program comes to an end very soon. Microsoft will release the final batch of new windows 7 updates in January of 2023.
A company called acros security offers a platform it calls 0Patch (zero patch) which is designed to deliver and apply microscopic security updates to unsupported software products

Thanks for the videos discussing Windows 7 security past 2023. I still use Windows 7 on my home computer, and I hope to use it for at least a couple more years.
I'm excited to see how this story unfolds. Hopefully Windows 7 will be supported long term
I still run 7 for 2 games That don't support Linux. Speaking of Linux, have you heard about it? I'm going to assume that you're a running with a low end pc. If that's the case, I would reccomned Linux Mint. It looks very identical to Windows 7 and would run better on any pc. If you are worried about Microsoft spying on you, that issue is fixed with Linux, since it open-source. And all software it up to date, I would recommend giving it a try.
@@skl345 use XFCE then,that one Pretty much Copy of windows 7 UI
while i can also recomend KDE Plasma,The Compositor side of things might hog the CPU(Even though it ran fine with some Buggy Blur effects in my Intel Celeron 2000 series Laptops)
@@skl345 "i use arch btw"
I use Windows 10 LTSB on my Core 2 Duo PC while I dualbooted Windows 11 and Windows 7 on my Core i5 650 PC
You should update this tutorial, now that server 2008 R2 has updates till 2026
I'm still using Windows 7, great video!
Thank you!
Applying patches in memory like that seems horribly inefficient. Since the memory is wiped when the PC is shut down, won't those patches have to be reapplied on every reboot?
Yes
Yeah, I'd rather just run some third party tools to lighten a Windows 10 install or use a forked ISO of it like GhostSpectre. Band-aid patches being done in memory, instead of editing Windows files like Microsoft does, would leave you with vulnerabilities during boot and shutdown. Virus makers are gonna latch on to that.
I think 0patch inserts itself into the end of the part of Windows that loads executables into RAM. It's relatively efficient since the patches are fairly small. I see the main disadvantage as the fact that the patches may not be tested as thoroughly as Microsoft tests its patches.
pleased with the windows 7 love windows 7
Me too
Thank you! I didn’t know about this. Now I don’t have to worry about security patches.
I know right! It's very exciting news
@@adventuresinnostalgia Indeed.
I have two questions, first question, can you do how to get automatic updates on Server 2003 r2 x64-bit in 2022, please, Second question, didn't ms mention that they might extend the support for Windows 7 and server 2008 r2 till 2026 in there updates?
Knowing microsoft, they most likely won't, and they probably want people to forget that they ever brought that up.
What are you looking for in the videos on getting automatic updates? Just a list of updates that are needed and what order to install them in? Or is there something more than that?
Is this the furthest point that Windows 7 can receive updates?
Based on the information available that is correct
I still use windows 7 on one of my PC's
Is this a reupload? I remember watching the original just yesterday
It's an experiment
Website is gone now
Google chrome support ending for windows 7 and 8.1 in february 2023 what to do after the ending support? Do you have any tip or some other web browser we can use?
You can use a browser like Firefox...
Just use Edge.
Who need Chrome anyway?
@@FlyboyHelosim Microsoft edge may works but i love chrome. We can use opera webbrowser
Firefox generally supports end of life operating systems the longest. New moon and pale moon are rather good as well
how come, Microsoft hates Windows 7 and they can’t make a new windows seven like windows 711
Probably because they want to spy on users and simply updating Windows 7 wasn't an option
@@adventuresinnostalgia 100% right they hate control panel don’t like it with desktop only tablets
Microsoft loves Windows 7, but Microsoft makes a lifecycle, as this is the beginning of new era for the reason why Windows 7 is ripped off.
I wish I could go back to 7 as it's my favorite modern Windows OS, but these updates are wiped after a reboot? Not very reliable.
I'll look up a 7 skin for my 10 LTSC (this edition doesn't have the Windows Store, Edge, Cortana, or annoying constant updates and supported until 2029). It [10 LTSC] essentially feels like 7 with a simplified skin.
I think 0patch inserts itself into the end of the part of Windows that loads executables into RAM. It's relatively efficient since the patches are fairly small. I see the main disadvantage as the fact that the patches may not be tested as thoroughly as Microsoft tests its patches.
Interesting about the Windows 7 skin for 10 LTSC! Does it come close to replicating the full Windows 7 experience, or are there some functionalities you miss out on?
Will you be making another Windows 7 ISO with all the newest ESU updates applied?
That seems like something I would do... We will have to wait until January 2023 for the last round of updates to be released
It's May can you realise it now
Wait, so I just have a quick question, I have a pretty good computer with a NVME SSD senses updates are applied to memory is it going to affect the performance of my computer?
The performance impact probably will not be more than the updates released by Microsoft
If Microsoft extends the esu will
programs continue to support Windows 7
For sure, I would love an official announcement from Microsoft confirming they want to extend Windows 7 support to 2026. That would be fantastic
@@adventuresinnostalgia see what happens in the new year, I reckon they will extend the updates to 2026, alot of people still use it, I cant afford just to shell out thousands just for a new pc and 2 laptops just so they can run 11, microsoft can get stuffed. win 7 does what i want it to do
@@vikingsmbIf they do extend the updates to 2026 then it’ll be the longest supported Windows OS ever, 4 years longer than Windows XP.
I want to install Windows 7 so bad tired of windows 10/11 bloat and bugs
You would think each version of Windows would be better than the last. Like a continuous improvement sort of thing. Instead, things seem to be getting progressively worse.
@@adventuresinnostalgia windows 11 in my experience has been a terrible os so far, maybe going with something win10 ltsc with long support
@@adventuresinnostalgia I have a thinkpad x280 i5 gen 8 and some drivers does not work wellbut windows 10 ltsc 2019 works like charm.
::WARNING:: This will already end in *2 years.* Please do this now to get support.
True, this will only be usable for a limited time.
Will Win 7 be updated until 2025?
Unofficially, yes. By Microsoft no
@@adventuresinnostalgia And where can I get these updates and how to install them?
I am gonna install windows 7 professional but I don't think i will install the software you showed in the video because i want to keep original
Thanks for watching! While keeping the original experience is understandable, some of the unofficial updates address critical security vulnerabilities. What are your main concerns about the software we showed? Perhaps we can help address them or suggest alternative solutions to keep your Windows 7 experience safe.
hello i'm facing this problem when i try to burn the iso file to a usb flash drive on Rufus tool i get this error: "this image is either non-bootable or it uses a boot or compression method rufus" what could be the problem?, and my pc doesn't have a DVD/CD reader ):
What ISO is giving you this error?
@@adventuresinnostalgia hello thanks for the reply the ISO thats giving me the error is " windows 7 ultimate 64 bit" from your archive page i got the link from your blog dated : Wednesday, April 27, 2022 with title : Show Notes: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 With ALL Updates ISO.
POSReady 7 will be receiving extended support until October 8th 2024. Is there a way to get these updates for free on that os by using a similar tool to ESUbypass on windows 7?
I've heard rumors that its possible but no actual proof or instructions on how to do it.
If you're planning to keep Windows 7 & 2008, 2012 server. Plus, I think they also do Office-2010 too? I maybe wrong? But Sadly, more & more software are force to leave Window 7. But the saddest parts are the news Laptops are poorly design, Not enough rams, small SSD, and breakable! I'm using 0-Patches, so far it's worth it.
I'm curious about your experience with 0-Patches. Have you encountered any downsides to using it compared to official Microsoft updates?"
@@adventuresinnostalgia So far it's had been good. Some time, I'd have crash? One thing that caused some crash was updating hardware/software that more for win10/11. So just don't update your old Win7 driver's, 0-Patches does a fairly good jobs. So it's worth using to keep your old computer, or Laptop just can't run win 10/11.
I heard it Microsoft
might extend your support fir windows 7 until 2026
I've heard this rumor as well, but have not found an official statement from Microsoft yet.
@@adventuresinnostalgia Maybe. But it'll only be for people who are prepared to pay, and the price will be high.
Hello. Can their agent work without the Internet?
I have not seen that mentioned in their advertising. I imagine the answer would be no
If only it would actually run on my Verizon 53,500 32 gig RAM ddr4 and gtx1650 super I found drivers for all those except to rise and five but I found fan drivers and I don't know how to get those installed cuz I already used a custom windows 7i so made with the update 7 and I still get stuck on starting Windows I mean it loads the files but then on the starting window screen everything lights up they're still hard drive sounds my fan still on it's 64-bit which that's my 64-bit and my keyboard and mouse are lit up do I need to serial ones cuz I heard there's drivers with AMD issues with USB but it's starting Windows I can't even get past the starting Windows and it doesn't crash it still does move it it's still doing its movement on starting Windows it doesn't blue screen of death it just keeps doing it no boot loops no nothing I tried booting not from UEFI grew up I tried booting from other places but still it still does this and I still don't know what driver I'm missing if I knew I would put it in the folder but I have no clue what one I'm missing this is becoming like a druaga one video or a Michael mjd video for me trying to install Windows 7 on my actual computer for my third OS but everything goes wrong
That's frustrating to hear that you're running into issues installing Windows 7 with the custom image. Have you tried checking the compatibility list for Update 7 to see if there are any known conflicts with Verizon 53,500 motherboards or GTX 1650 Super GPUs? It might help narrow down which driver might be causing the hang at the starting Windows screen.
Nice and what happened to your Patreon?
The Patreon Trust and Safety team took down my page and have stopped responding to me
I got Windows 7. How do I get those update? Is it by website or does it work from Windows 7 update in the computer it self.
I see! What makes you stick with Windows 7 on that particular PC?
@adventuresinnostalgia I only got a laptop.
I can't afford a new PC as too expensive, really. And I can't be bothered to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11.
It is just too much to keep up the new Windows software.
Great video
Thank you
@@adventuresinnostalgia Google chrome support ending for windows 7 and 8.1 in february 2023 what to do after the ending support? Do you have any tip or some other web browser we can use?
Can u tell something same for Windows 8.1 too?
No, it doesn't look like Windows 8.1 will be getting unofficial updates just yet.
Is it safe ?
The updates themselves will be safe. How much actual protection you get remains to be seen
oh no windows 10 end of support is sooner 😭
2025 is just a blink of an eye away
Will windows 8.1 also have some ways to be updated after 2023?
I hope so. That remains to be seen though
