Windows 7 Service Pack 2

Windows 7 Service Pack 2 is a package consisting of updates, tweaks, backported apps and overall enhancements with the goal of providing an effortless way to have a fully updated Windows 7 ISO and enhancing usability on semi-modern machines. We are going to distribute it in both ISOs and a service pack installer.

Planned features

- All updates until 2020, with the addition of Windows Embedded Standard 7 updates
- Snipping Tool from Windows 10 version 1507
- Paint from Windows 10 version 1703
- Registry Editor from Windows 10 version 1703
- In-place service pack installer
- Generic USB 3.0 and NVMe drivers
- UEFI support in the ISO releases (if you download the UEFI-specific version)
- Inclusion of VxKex
- Windows 8 PE in the ISO, with a theme that resembles Windows 7
- Windows 10 setup engine in the ISO release
- Upscaled graphics in some places
- Windows Vista/7 PE's boot screen on the ISO
- Removal of the annoying "Unsupported hardware" prompt

The installation environment has been updated to use Windows 8.1's PE and the setup engine from Windows 10, with the addition of a Windows 7 theme applied into it

The setup autorun's controls are now themed, unlike in regular Windows 7 where it would ususally display classic non-themed controls
