I've installed Windows 7 Pro. I set the "check updates" setting and no updates appeared after 24 hours. The disk I used had SP 1 on it. Is there a website where I can go and manually download the update?

Thanks,

Thank you for responded. I go to Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3172605) and hit download. The Windows update Standalone Installer starts and then in a few seconds I get the message ''The update is not applicable to your computer".

I've only manually installed Explore 11, so I could get website. Any additional help would be appreciated.

Thank you again,

I restrarted my computer. Open the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=46817. I then get the message box 'Windows Update Standalone Installer with the message Searching for updates on this computer. Do I click on the "Check for updates" button now?

I'm donating the computer to a small private school who is still on Windows 7 Pro, so it is not an option to load Windows 10. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and providing information to help me. If you have other suggestions, I would like to hear them too. I may end up reformatting the HD and doing the install again too.

Thank you again for your help,

Moderator...I went through the tread and was able to get the updates to start downloading. Thanks for pointing me to the thread.

Hlsgsz...Thanks you for helping to. I learn a few things I didn't know before.

Hi All.
I have just got off the phone to Consumer Rights about this problem.
Now I have a genuine Windows disc and key.
But I can't seem to find the invoice for it if I did have the invoice they can do something about it.Please can I ask anyone who has this problem and still have their invoice to contact them on this.
03454040506.
Now I have been in contact with Microsoft and I had to allow them to remote access my PC and they were trying to fix the problem for over an hour and a half after they had finished they said that I should get the update's now.
So I went to try ans look for update's and had to leave the PC on all night and at 5.45am I got some update's but not all of them and I'm still not getting any More update's from Microsoft .
Am Appealing to all who have Windows 7 and an invoice for the operating system to contact the above number and they will sort it out .
I also the a word document that copyed from Microsoft wile they were trying to fix the update's problem if anyone would like me to email to you.

I hope this can help .

All the best .
