My Toshiba laptop - c. 8 years runs better on Win 10 than it's ever done.

My old PC c. 8 years won't install Win 10 because SP1 won't install on Win 7 - spent hours looking for a solution - to no avail.

Oppps, sounds like a rant  :-[

Frustration, maybe, that when the developers give a simple procedure for something, users feel the need to ignore it and dream up another way (that would clearly never work) and moan that it doesn't.

No malice or offence intended to anyone  :-[
As a consumer I haven't seen anything that resembles a 'simple procedure' from Microsoft for anything (let alone preventing the Win10 install.)

MS do seem to support big customers OK and presumably inform them of randomly named keys that they can add to domain policies to force things on to the PCs on the domain. Presumably consumers could do the same (using GPE?) to their home PCs but that isn't going to work for 90% of home users. What is required is a soft sales campaign to end users explaining what Microsoft are hoping to achieve and some honest explanation of what will actually happen if you do install it. They then need a 'user interface' to allow the user to manage the process (including various levels of opt out eg not today/not until next patch/not ever) not an automatic update system with a series of cryptic numbers and meaningless descriptions
Group Policy Editor if you have a non Basic version of Windows 7, or a direct registry manipulation if you do (but obviously you don't want to randomly click and import a random registry file ;D), is probably the easiest permanent way IMHO.

Win 7 is insecure without SP1, so you really do need to nail that one AA :)

So - show us this simple procedure - one that works on Win7 Home and doesn't require knife and forking in the registry.

I am not alone, there are thousands out there that can't install SP1.

Is it a Genuine Copy, if so can you not download win7 with SP1 from Ms, or have they stopped all that now.

What is the error? We really do need SP1 on there PDQ.

If you're stuck, fellow Admin, you can always drop it off for a short holiday in Brakkers for a few days.

My version of Win 7 Ultimate downloaded and runs service pack 1 with no problems even though the copy of windows is of a slightly dubious nature  :-X
Should I be worried ?
