The catalog has the currently released updates. While those updates won’t be published on Windows Updates the currently released updates still have to be available to those customers. Microsoft is still providing updates to those customers that have paid for support. Any Windows 7 update currently available will be available after the EOL for Windows 7. (Correct?)Īs MS is actually still hosting the update files in their server (the Microsoft Update Catalog), why MS does not keep steaming those OLD updates and patches to users through the OS built in "Windows Update" service? (Correct?)Īnd let me assume that the Windows 7 updates and patches will still be available (for a few years) in the Microsoft Update Catalog even after Windows 7 EOL. Let me assume that the Microsoft Update Catalog contains ALL the updates and patches for Windows 7 now. We can still find Windows XP updates from there. As we all know Windows XP was EOL years ago. It seems that we can download all the updates from there. However in the MS website, there is a Microsoft Update Catalog. When I open "Windows Update" and check for updates, I would expect nothing will be found. If I install a new PC by a Windows 7 disc from scratch, I would expect I will not be able to download the Windows Updates. Of course MS will not release new updates or patches for Windows 7 anymore.
