I wanted to download and install the latest updates for Windows 7 on my laptop. There's now update 69 of 175 is installed. That is there but since 12h. Does anyone know what you can do there?
Edit: It works now. The problem has resolved itself after 37h waiting.
Cancel this update, go to the update list, disable the update and continue.
The updates always take quite some time at 7 since Win 7 is no longer as up-to-date as win 10. Likewise, it will soon be discontinued, so MS puts it on EOL. What end of life means. Recently, there were a few glitches in Windows 7 to the latest updates that have come out. So it would be a very unfavorable time to drive updates. If you google or look at heise, de you will find some hints and reports about it.
Here is a tip from me: You can still get Windows 10 as Windows 10 for free Windows 10. To do this you first have to read out the product key of Windows 7. This is done with this tool: https://www.netzwelt.de/...iewer.html Note this key well. It is also valid to install Windows 10.
To do this, download the Windows 10 ISO: https://www.microsoft.com/.../windows10 Then burn the ISO with this tool http://www.freeisoburner.com/ to an empty blank DVD. When done, you write down the read Windows 7 Product Key on the blank on it.
Then boot the DVD blank.
My laptop has 1 GB of RAM and a 1 GHz processor. I will not install win10 on it
Cancel is only possible by pulling out the plug
That does not help me
Then he probably hung up.
But the charging symbol is still moving normally
Do you mean the progress bar?
No, this charging circuit in Windows 7
You can make the laptop for free with the operating system Cloudready a Chromebook. Download here: https://www.neverware.com/freedownload/ You need the USB-Maker and a USB-Stick with at least 8GB. After you have created the stick just boot it.
The installer sets up the WLAN and offers the possibility to completely delete the hard disk. After completing the installation and the first reboot, just log in with the Google Account. In the settings of the section Plugins you can install Flash, Codecs and Widevine with just one click. Restart and your Chromebook is ready. All updates are fully automatic in the background.
The voice control OK Google works too.
Compared to Windows 7, Cloudready runs much faster.
Now that you have a valid Windows 7 key, you can, for example, Buy a new laptop without Windows for Windows 10 to install.
If he hangs, he will come to St. Nimmerleinstag.
What advantages would a Chromebook have for me?
So you can continue to use an old device meaningful instead of throwing it away.
I would try Cloudready. In addition, the Windows 7 support will eventually be completely set. Then there are no more security updates.
WLAN-capable printers are also supported.
Word processing is also possible. There are also the Chrome apps Google Text, Spreadsheets and Presentation in the Web Store. You can also use that offline.
The VLC player is also available: https://chrome.google.com/...cndf?hl=de This is the version for Chromebook or Cloudready. He plays off what the Windows version can do.
