Windows 10: What happens if i do a fresh install of update 2004? in terms of updates

I downloaded the iso (19041.264) I want to reinstall using that, but dont want to be an insider. How does that work? Can i reinstall using that and just still be in the standard update ring?

Also any "official" links to the 2004 iso?

cheers

Fresh install, Win Update issue

I've just done this on several computers at work. There is a download from Microsoft that will help with the initial update after a fresh install! Give me a sec. and I'll find the name:

Windows6.1-KB3102810-x64.msu

I think if you just search for the KB3102810 part you will find it online somewhere. It's just slightly more than 3 MB in size. We waited over an hour with one of the processor cores pegged with nothing happening. This was on a fresh install of Win 7 64-bit SP1 and we were just trying to get the very first update (the one before the massive ~1 GB of updates)

I never saw a .msu before but it runs just like an executable. It will still take a few minutes after you have that patch installed for the update to run but you won't be waiting forever like before.

Check time, and give it a reboot. But you likely will just have to wait. Installing all the updates for Win7 after a fresh install takes forever. It doesn't help that the Windows Update process is single threaded either. So it takes even longer on an older processor, or one that isn't very single threaded powerful.

I just installed Win7 on a new built for a client. It was only an Athlon 5350. I started Windows Update when I got to my office in the morning, and 8 hours later when I left it was still sitting at the "checking for updates" phase. When I got to work the next morning it had finally moved on to tell me there were 228 updates to install. You'll just have to wait, unfortunately.

 

Fresh install, Win Update issue

Ok so I'm whipping some parts together to build a starter PC for nephews. Ran into a snag. It can use browsers like IE and Firefox just fine. I can download just fine and such. However, Windows Update just sits there forever on "checking for updates."

This is with a fresh install of Windows 7.

Now the board originally came from an old Gateway I parted out. It was a Vista machine. This is the board: 945G D945GCFG1 | Intel D945GCFG1 Viiv LGA775 motherboard

It has 3GB RAM right now. I've also dropped in a C2D E6700, upgrading it from it's original E4300. Then I dumped in a 750Ti for GPU.

Support under 7 is there but yeah the drivers are often old. Heck I tried loading Windows 10 on and it does work with the exception of Windows Update not working in it either. In fact under 10 it quickly says it cannot communicate with the microsoft servers vs 7 which just sits there.

Now I do have an old Vista install DVD around. I could drop it back to that and see what happens, but I'd like to avoid that. I already know 7 and 10 don't want to communicate with M$ and that it refuses to do so even after fresh install.

Could this be an issue with the board or ethernet? I don't have a spare card around to test but I'm beginning to wonder. Don't usually have issues like this with Windows Update.
