You may, but every time I have a shit, Windows 10 just makes it push out more, all shittery and skittery, like last summers kebab rotting in the sun, and Satya Nadella wiping it all from his face, while saying 'SUDO' man, just 'SUDO'.

Yeah, we live in troubled times as regards the OS, very troubling indeed.

I'm taking up the 'challenge' of using the RS Pi for a month, obviously no gaming, lol, but so far, I'm flying Very Happy, and hugely enjoying it, but early days lol. Even got back to dabbling in a little Python stuff, after such a long time, so we will see buddy Smile

Got a quick question for you all...
Anyone knows a good TOOL that helps backing up all the windows tweaks and configs i did?
Like Services, reg edits, GPEdit´s, modified DLL´s etc.. Cause its a lot of work getting that all setup again..

if anyone knows such tools, Please do tell..

Best Regards..

Edit:

Found 1 Tool and 1 Powershell script. So services and GPEdit are Backuped Smile Now maybe someone knows some more... "hopefully"..

Tools:

1. S.M.A.R.T - (Service Management And RealEasy Tweaking) Utility for Windows 7 | This Tool can BACKUP the SERVICES Settings for Windows 7.. I dont think that works for Windows 10..
--> https://www.thewindowsclub.com/smart-a-utility-for-tweaking-windows-7-vista-xp-services

2. Group Policy backup with a PowerShell script
--> https://4sysops.com/archives/group-policy-backup-with-a-powershell/

The backup script ^ (should work for WIN7 and WIN10)
Quote:
 Spoiler:
 



And of course the Powershell script for RESTORE GPEdit.

--> https://4sysops.com/archives/restore-group-policy-with-powershell/




Would be nice to find some more helpsfull stuff...

Greetings...

Simplix's opinion about MSFT lately screwing stuff up with Windows 7 updates:

If I have to be nice, people over at Microsoft are lazy, ass-handed idiots, who are unable to perform even simple tests on their updates. It seems that the testing department either was entirely laid off or hired incompetent people. The August update had a serious UEFI loading issue where the update was completely bricking live systems. Instead of properly fixing the issue, the September update has another problem, which leads to the previous one repeating itself, as the update only applies after reboot, which is exactly what was bricking live systems. On top of that, they didn't properly test KB4516655, which was supposed to replace KB4490628, but without it there will be problems when installing new updates.
The updatepack fixes all of that, but with each passing month updates are becoming worse and worse, and this only goes for update installation, it's frightening to think how the updates are actually coded, which I cannot check and fix.


https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/simplix-pack-to-update-live-win7-system-integrate-hotfixes-into-win7-distribution.45005/page-136

If i had read Simplix´s quote before, i hadnt even try to install the September Update.. But, i just couldnt whait... silly me..

I did update my System an hour ago, after installing the updates the system will reboot and apply the Updates.
After reboot the Updates are configured and return: Error configuring updates, rolling back.
The next reboot ends in an lost MBR/MFT and no Windows is found...

I am freaking lucky to be not trusting microsoft and so i make Full system Backups before UPDATING Windows.. So for me it was a matter of 2 klicks and i got my Windows back.. But think of teh People not making Backups.. They are SCREWED!!!!

So, just a Friendly WARNING from me... BACKUP before installing the SEPTEMBER UPDATE....

Best Regards..

Microsoft to make Windows 7 Extended Security Updates available to all business users


In a strategy shift, Microsoft will make Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 available to smaller business customers, too, starting on December 1.

Microsoft is making Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESUs) available to more customers. Instead of making them available to larger companies with volume licensing agreements only, Microsoft is going to make ESUs available to businesses of any size, officials announced on October 1.

Beginning December 1, 2019, small-and-midsize businesses (SMBs) also will be able to purchase ESUs if they are not going to be ready to get off Windows 7 as of January 14, 2020, which is the date Microsoft will end free support (and security updates) for the product. SMBs will be able to get the ESUs for up to three years by purchasing them from qualified Cloud Solution Provider partners, officials said.

Also: Windows 7 end of life: Months from patch cut-off, millions still haven't upgraded


Before today, Windows 7 ESUs were only going to be available to Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise customers with volume licensing arrangements.

Last fall, Microsoft officials said they would provide Windows 7 Extended Security Updates for three years, meaning through January 2023. These will be security patches/fixes like the ones Microsoft is currently providing for free for Windows 7 users, as Windows 7 is still being supported by Microsoft through January 14, 2020.

Windows 7 ESU pricing won't be cheap, especially for customers wanting to apply them to multiple PCs. They are more expensive for customers using the Pro version of Windows than the Enterprise one. The price of the ESUs goes from $25 per device for Windows Enterprise users in year one, to $100 per device for year three. For Pro users, ESU pricing goes from $50 per device in year one up to $200 per device in year three.

So I decided to have a small win7 drive for... reasons (plays modded FO3 and FONV better *cough*)

My issue is, instead of going at it through the usual format, install & dual boot 7 way I want to use an old (2017) windows backup image, that already has some drivers and tweaks neatly applied.
The problem is, I can't seem to be able to recover it to another disk other than the original (which is ~200km from here and in use) . Closest I got was mounting the VHD, using acronis disk director to copy that partiotin to the disk I want it on but then it always gets stuck on that boot infinite loop.

Any suggestions mens? Or should I just give up and install 7 on that drive from scratch?

Can't you reinstall the bootloader using rescue shell from the installation DVD? Fixboot, fixmbr, easybcd something?

Also, if the original install was legacy IDE and the new one is AHCI, you have to hack it some more.

Already went through the bootrec motions, 0 OS found. Original was already running on AHCI, toggling it to IDE in the BIOS makes no difference.

Should have used some sort of third party SW for the image back then, I know (now) Sad

Windows 7 gets one more..
https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-7-has-one-more-update-in-store-for-everyone

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4534310

Quote:

The said update caused an issue with the background wallpaper. Specifically, some people reported that after installing the KB4534310 update, the desktop wallpaper would display as a solid black color when configured to Stretch. All editions of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 were affected across the board. Microsoft acknowledged that the bug was caused by the update but initially stated that the hotfix will only be provided to the organizations that had paid for the extended support of Windows 7.

Today, the firm has updated the patch notes and claimed that it is working "on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release, which will be released to all customers running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1." While the exact date for the update has not been confirmed, it is likely that Windows 7 might see the promised update on February 11 on Patch Tuesday.

In the meantime, a temporary fix for the issue has been provided on the website. If you are facing the issue, you may try changing the wallpaper configuration to another option like Fill, Fit, Tile, or Center. You can also try your luck by using a wallpaper whose dimensions match the resolution of the desktop.



seems ironical that they have to release another "last" Update.. haha

Didnt that happen with "XP" also, back in teh Days?
PS. nope, XP got 2 Patches after end of support... because... *drummroll*.... The leaked NSA Tools..

You guys realize there exists a thing called Bypass ESU. Windows 7 is alive and kicking, downloads security/ quality updates perfectly fine. Smile

Latest version is BypassESU-v9-AIO.

Go to this page: https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2019/12/07/windows-7-erweiterte-sicherheitsupdates-esu-erhalten-wird-moeglich-sein/, use built-in Chrome translator and follow the provided instructions.

(<-- page screenshot)

BypassESU can also be obtained from its original thread on My Digital Life forums. Working account and logging in is necessitated, though.

I'm not using it for gaming. (Nor should anybody.) For playing teh latest vidya games use Windows 10, obviously. Wink

If you're on an older hardware, however, or barely care about gaming anymore (like me Smile), have an older PC laying around with Win7 still on it; feel free to give it a try.

Update Windows 7 to the latest legally available version, manually install certain specific update, then BypassESU, etc..

It's all detailed in the ReadMe file.

Just giving a quick heads-up. Maybe there's someone interested.
