KB2670838 & KB3020369 ?

[7point5]

ok so this question's about KB2670838 (platform update released in 2013) and KB3020369 (recent service stack update)

 

in another topic it turned out that the service stack update must be installed before the platform update (despite it being more recent)

 

so question is, what happens to those who installed the platform update years ago when it came up? should they still install the service stack update or must they skip it? (will it screw up their windows if they install it?)

I think you misunderstood the comment from the other topic.

 

If you are asking which order to integrate these two updates offline, as in, from a clean SP1 iso, which currently doesn't have any updates integrated, then it was pointed out to you that KB3020369 should be integrated first, but if you'd prefer to integrate them the other way around then go ahead and tell us your story later on. Otherwise, the time it took for you to post this topic could have been saved by just integrating them in the order you were told.

 

KB3020369

KB2670838

... other updates...

KB3125574

 

Hope that helps.

in the other topic I just wanted to know why KB2670838 takes longer to add (offline) when added after KB3020369 compared to added before KB3020369 (were you able to find out?)

 

 

 

here this a separate topic I essentially wanted to know how this works (in win7, generally) so assuming it's online

 

so if someone installed KB2670838 years ago should they install KB3020369 now or skip it?

if they install it will it damage their win7 in the long run? (can't test that cause that'd take hours or days or months to see how this plays out)

Yes, install 3020369. In fact, install all the important updates, plus recommended.

If you don't want the Get Windows 10 app, don't install KB3035583; you'll have to do some research regarding other Windows 10 telemetry bits and bobs...

 

Incidentally, is this a home pc, or are you linked to the education sector in some way?

nope this is home pc (I've my own in my room)

 

alrite just tested again the install.wim is again different size from the other 2 (when opening archive only the windows folder has different size btw)

 

so looks like dism has some random code or something that makes it unpredictable
