Even though Windows 10 is becoming more and more popular and it even managed to surpass Windows 7 in a recent Steam Hardware Survey, many people still prefer to use the older Windows 7 operating system for various reasons. The problem with installing Windows 7 nowadays is that it requires several updates and restarts, and it looks like Microsoft is also well-aware of this fact, which is why it has released a “convenience rollup” that includes all updates issued between 2011 and April, 2016. Even though it’s not Service Pack 2, the massive patch is still a welcome addition, albeit an optional one.
This means that users that have been keeping their OS up to date won’t need to install it, but those that need it won’t actually be able to find it via the Windows Update service. Moreover, apart from the fact that it needs to be installed manually, the patch also requires the April 2015 servicing stack update for Windows 7. Microsoft will still provide non-security updates for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 every month through Windows Update, which means that single monthly patches will now cover all fixes that are not security-related. Security updates will be rolled out whenever they are required, and if you still want to install them manually, you’ll be able to find them in the Microsoft Update Catalog.
