Windows 7 before installation, my colleague was asked whether I want to install updates or not?

My colleague has installed Windows 7 and was asked beforehand whether with updates or without he first selected but it took 2 hours and was still not finished then he turned his laptop on and off and did the same thing again without updates and then it went quickly but now he has no updates installed, he can simply search for updates in Windows 7 and these installs are the same?

Yes, the updates that he is downloading are exactly the same.

Why do you install windows 7 now, when support will be discontinued on January 14th, 2020?

Experience has shown that Windows 7 has the peculiarity that the first search can take hours. I recommend downloading an https://winfuture.de/...,2671.html. It was a lot faster for me.

However, the https://winfuture.de/...60882.html must be installed for this.
