Since then, users performing a Windows 7 install or reinstall are faced the chore of downloading more than a GB of updates. That being said, Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 more than five years ago. Windows 7 is a rock-solid operating system with security updates provided by Microsoft until Jan 2020.
