Windows 7 Updates

fogelrules · Apr 8, 2013

Because I am limited in the amount of gb I have to use per month, is it possible to 'get' another persons updates for a 64bit Windows 7? Whether it be by disc or flash drive or what not, am I able to get what he has downloaded and get his updated files loaded onto my own pc? Its just that I have recently had to make a new PC and am needing to update Windows 7 to its latest.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,

Yes. Windows updates can be downloaded and put on a CD/DVD to use elsewhere.
Go here for the MS support article.

Sorry for not being a bit more specific. What I meant was...
My laptop is already is updated with the latest updates for 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium and the PC that WILL be running 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium wont be updated at all as it is a clean install.

What I'm asking is, is it possible to 'backup' the laptops OS and use it on the PC to save having to download the updates on the PC.

I hope I'm being specific enough, thanks.

No, it doesn't work like that. You can't 'extract' already installed updates from one machine and use them on another. In any case, a laptop will have gotten different updates than a desktop. Chipset, trackpad, etc.

Have a friend download them to CD or USB from my earlier link, and that will do it.
