Extended Security Updates for WIN 7 SP1/Server 2008 & R2

I've tried this in the past, while downloading a "monthly Rollup" outside of my own personal realm of support. I tried some trickery, to see if I could bypass any validity checks, which worked... However, after I installed the Monthly Rollup, Windows ultimately found it to be incompatible, and after restarting, reverted back to the previous state. I was warned ahead of time of possible side affects, and true, the WU log was erased. Previously installed updates still appear in appwiz.cpl/installed updates. Then I noticed some subtle issues with Win 7 and had to run Tweaking.com's Windows Repair. This corrected everything. It is on a "subscription only" basis, 12 months prepaid, available by some MS partners, and KB's or "Rollups" are readily available for download already to the public.

Thoughts?

tbh its not worth installing the ESU updates.
Im only waiting for POSReady 7 to reach end of extended support in october so that the devs can do the same trick as they did for POSReady 2009 on XP.

POSReady also has 1 more year of support and thus lasts untill 2024, longer than Windows 7 ESU.

I want to show you how to make W7 SP2 (aka rollup-update) (when you have currently W7 SP1):

x86:
Windows6.1-KB3020369-x86.msu
windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x86_ba1ff5537312561795cc04db0b02fbb0a74b2cbd.msu

x64:
Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu
windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x64_2dafb1d203c8964239af3048b5dd4b1264cd93b9.msu

https://www.howtogeek.com/255435/how-to-update-windows-7-all-at-once-with-microsofts-convenience-rollup/
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125574/convenience-rollup-update-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2

Changing Service Pack Level from Registry (after rollup-update installed):
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: system\CurrentControlSet\control\windows
Name: CSDVersion
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x200 = SP2

...or just use Simplix Update Pack.

If that is the update that I think it is, it includes telemetry.

To get rid of telemetry you can use Blackbird.
