[QUOTE="RichM, post: 679925, member: 96273"] This has been a total "pos" especially for new installs of Windows 7. You can still check for updates if you like the old way but it can take up to 48 hours for you to get an answer and needless to say change settings in power options so that the pc will not close down ever on the checking and cause it to error out and end. Let me tell you the rollup procedure is designed for the "young at heart" as I had about all I could take of my effort to synch the update downloads to a new dvd. For now I am done installing new for Windows 7 and will start at Windows 8.1 where the holdup for time in "checking for updates" is not nearly as bad. So from being one of the most negative Widows 8 proponents, I have begun selling custom builds again with Windows 8.1. There are still way too many issues in Windows 10 for me to point myself in that direction yet, and the Anniversary Update apparently has yet to fix all of them. [/QUOTE]
