How to Extend Your Windows 7 Security Updates Past January 2020 - tech
(hx) 11:20 PM CET - Dec,10 2019 - Post a comment / read (12)
Do people still use Windows 7? Absolutely. And if they cling to it past January 14 of this coming year, they’ll have to pay a fee to Microsoft to continue to receive security updates. Most people won't (and can't) do this, as Microsoft’s paid security updates are geared only toward businesses, but a clever little hack allows normal people to take advantage of this service - for free. What you should do? You have to first install three prerequisite updates to your Windows 7 system: KB4490628, KB4474419, and KB4523206. Restart your system as needed.

Then download the BypassESU tool (password: heslo). Install it, and you should then be able to install this test Extended Security Update (KB4528069). The BypassESU tool should allow you to circumvent the check Microsoft puts in place for Extended Security Updates. Once this update installs successfully, you should even be able to uninstall the BypassESU tool, as you’ll now be authenticated for future security updates. Of course, Microsoft might invalidate this little workaround and/or alter how it authenticates for Windows 7 Extended Security Updates. As the readme.txt file for the BypassESU tool notes: However, you may consider this as prototype, based on tests with update KB4528069, things may change on February 2020.

Real solutions are to either get Windows 10, in spite of all the garbage - you can run w10privacy on it to disable much of the nasty tracking - or switching to a Linux variant with decent support for gaming if that's a thing (which, on this site, probably is).

Realistically, Windows 10 is probably the only choice if one wants to game more or less effortlessly, until game manufacturers get their shit together and start releasing games for Linux.

I think most pirated copies are activated using corporate volume license keys.
This means, pirates will continue receiving updates, regular users (who can't afford Windows 10 or don't want it and therefore need security patches more than anyone else) are left in the dust as usual.
So Microsoft!

I wonder if WSUSOffline will do all that nonsense for us - would be very convenient.
Else, it's RyanVM forums.

One more thing.
I think Windows 7 does not require much patching unless you let some rubbish get in. So, with a decent router, firewall and antivirus software, you can go on for quite a while without patches and be secure. Try to get a router with US design made in China with an open-source software, get a Russian SW firewall and a US-endorsed (but not US-made) AntiVirus solution. That gets you the safest setup I guess.
You'd have to worry only if you pull stupid crap like opening email attachments and download and running shit from the internet.

If I have to fall PRISONER of W10, I prefer to switch to a hackintosh

Hackintosh is just a customized Linux ;-) You don't need the expensive Apple-branded hardware for any of that. Just grab a Linux that suits you and supports your games.

Yeah, but it's not free... Which is the whole point. If it was free I would run a dual-boot. So much mention of shit with win 10 binding to motherboard,CPU. Is that still applicable today?

Yep, with HWID, we own your ass, bitch!
Not CPU, just motherboard though.

So, be vary of cheap used motherboards - probably belonged to a cheater who got banned with the HWID so you won't be able to use it with that platform anymore.
If you don't use it for gaming, it should be okay. But, your ass will be tracked as a bad guy, regardless.

Microsoft needs HWID for Windows Autopilot - except there's no such thing on private PCs, so it's just a way to invade your privacy and track your ass.
Windows licensing is also using HWID - which does make sense when you activate your license or, when you do a license check. But, again, license checks should not come with utter disrespect of one's identity and basic human rights. There are other ways to do this, yet MS chose this because this way they have an excuse to feed the US government all the data they need and get massive funding in exchange.

So, yea. Stay away. Even if it's free.

Best advice in the whole article. Better still, remove this whole thing and be done with it. Last thing HX needs is legal shit or attract it..

Nothing illegal in there. All IT people that have to deal with Windows 10 deployment know all about HWID.

:oops: Sorry, i thought it was a hack going to cause lot's bother. You can tell i build PCs for games! software, to the point you guys know, is waaay over my head :shock: BTW, i found my old account! I've contacted Hex -hence the new SABOT and now SABOTS... :lol:

That gets you the safest setup I guess.
