The company has published a "convenience rollup" for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (and Windows Server 2008 R2), which in a single package contains all the updates, both security and non-security, released since the Service Pack, up through April 2016. The answer to that particular question will, unfortunately, remain a mystery, but Microsoft did today announce a change that will greatly reduce the pain of this process. Typically, this means multiple trips to Windows Update and multiple reboots in order to get the system fully up-to-date, and it is a process that is at best tedious, typically leading one to wonder why, at the very least, it cannot pull down all the updates at once and apply them with just a single reboot. Service Pack 1 for the operating system was released in 2011, meaning that a fresh install has five years of individual patches to download and install. If it doesn’t, you need to install Service Pack 1.Anyone who's installed Windows 7 any time in the last, oh, five years or so probably didn't enjoy the experience very much. If it says “Service Pack 1” in the window, you have Service Pack 1. If you’re not sure whether you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed, open the Start menu, type “winver” into the search box, and press Enter. You can also download Service Pack 1 directly from Microsoft and install it without going through Windows Update. Launch Windows Update, check for updates, and install the “Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB976932)” update to install it.
