dens22 Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Hello, I would like to know what is the difference betweeen downloading the regular windows 7 and windows 7 August 2018 (version?) in HeiDoc.net windows ISO downloader ? I would really appreciate your answers. Quote
shhnedo Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Those are garbage. 5GB+ iso for a single edition and integrated updates are a mess. Better download regular 7 SP1 media refresh iso and manually update it with simplix updatepack. Edited April 10, 2020 by shhnedo Quote

shhnedo Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) No, just multiple cumulative updates integrate for no reason. For reference, my own x64 AIO (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise) made using simplix updatepack and abbodi's addons(directx, visual c++, .net framework) is the same size as the single index x64 Ultimate, Pro and Home Premium images. Mine are even more up-to-date than these "official homebrews"... Edited April 10, 2020 by shhnedo Quote

Cause I don't have any official windows 7 installations, and I want to save them. Quote
mooms Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 You can find Windows 7 iso on other sites, just check the hash database to be sure to download an untampered iso file. Example: Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 (x64) - DVD (English) search the SHA1 in your favorite search engine, yous should find a download link. Quote

shhnedo Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 No point then. Have fun with the "latest" images. Quote
mooms Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Simplix update pack contains 32 and 64 bits updates, hence the size. You can also use rhahgleuhargh update list: Quote
erpster9 Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) the Aug. 2018 Win7 SP1 ISOs are only available in USA English - not available for foreign (non-English) languages. they are also "standalone" editions that bundle a single edition and are NOT AIOs (so the ei.cfg removal trick won't work with the Aug 2018 ISOs because ei.cfg is actually not present in these ISOs) they also contain certain win7 "telemetry" updates which some people despise original Win7 SP1 ISOs (not the Aug 2018 ones) can be used as AIOs with the ei.cfg removal trick - and these older Win7 ISOs are available in many languages Edited April 17, 2020 by erpster9 Quote

paulsimpson Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 As far as I know, there isn't any major difference between them. Quote
erpster9 Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) I've just learned from abbodi that MS has recently removed the August 2018 Windows 7 ISO downloads. so the links to them are now broken and produce 404 file not found errors in late March 2023 (yup, Windows ISO Downloader can't download them anymore) another "stake knife" driven onto the heart of Win7 Edited March 26, 2023 by erpster9 Chuterix 1 Quote
mooms Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Not a big loss imo (the 2018 iso I mean). Chuterix 1 Quote
