Updating Windows 7

Watching with interest.   8)
I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate for many years without any problems and have always vigorously disabled updates but this recently came back to bite me in regards to SSL errors and site certificates which I posted about in the supporters lounge.

I download a collection of updates but none of them would install without Service Pack 1 being installed first which I don't have and cannot find. Another problem which has suddenly appeared is a "The version of Windows you are using is not legitimate, click here to resolve this problem" or words to that effect.

This has never happened before and the message even appears when offline and when I view a random image with picture viewer or similar. This might be normal and a common occurrence to others but is new to me, I've resorted to using system restore to get rid of the message if and when it returns.

Muttley Snickers:
Many thanks, I forgot to mention that I'm still running with 32 bit which is also available in the link you provided. I'm also still running MS Office 2003 and a stack of other software from genuine flea market resellers, none of that silly subscription rubbish.   ;) :-X

you can still find several archive sites if you google "windows 7 ultimate service pack iso" (for ultimate version) 32/64bits. download it before its too late. one example https://archive.org/details/en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332_202006 (i dont check validity) coupled with Windows6.1-KB3102810 install it, connect internet and update everything. backup with a backup tool like aomei backupper free version or macrium reflect and you have a backup file acting as install file (your own service pack version) most up to date for restore later if your installation get corrupted. you can include your most favourite programs before making the backup.

Again, all up MS updates can be downloaded from them directly.

The original MS image that used to contain the KB976932 SP1 updates:
