This isn’t very legacy, quite the opposite, but I’m very impressed by just how much Microsoft improved Windows Update performance in 24H2. They claim a ~40% speed improvement! Now, if only they would backport this to Windows 7 🥲 techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

The data is safe. Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard. Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks. Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set).

Windows Embedded 7 extended security updates (ESU) support has fully ended. If you’re running regular 32-bit Windows 7, no more updates will be available for your OS. 64-bit Windows 7 may still be able to install ESU updates from Windows Server 2008 R2.
