I have Windows 7 Home Premium OEM which was installed after the Vista when this PC and hard drive were new in March 2009. So this old hard drive has some bad sectors and so I used EaseUS Partition Master to do a clone copy of only my 7 partition, which I put onto a new hard drive in a external eSATA enclosure.

Who is and isn't going to install this right away, very curious? I foolishly installed the Patch early, on 01/05/18 I think, from what I see in my Updates. Now will take it slow even though this is kinda like a better version of what they released early when all the Hype was still Fresh LOL. Thanks, Nasty7

I just checked my Windows 7 updates yesterday 01/18/18 and there is a new one _KB4055532_. What's weird is that I received the same update_ KB4055532 on 01/10/18_ and installed it. Why would they be sending me the same update,if it was a better version wouldn't it have a different ID number. HP Windows 7 :sarc:

Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Win 7 for X64

This "optional" entry appears each month during Win Update. It is several hundred MB in size so takes a while to download but there is no indication of what it does or why it is optional. Since individual updates also appear is this stuff really necessary ? Can it safely be ignored ? Thanx. Bewildered Bob ps: it appears there is also a corresponding one for .NET

I see by reading here and elsewhere that the Updater seems to be a common issue with W7 machines. Here is my deal: It all started when I tried to install Quickbooks 2018 in this machine. It would not install and after much wrangling, finally resulted in an error in reference to the installer not working properly. (Sorry, I did not record exactly what it said).

I am attempting to clarify this not only for myself but for anyone else coming across this...
