What would you put on a Windows 7 “rescue” disk?

Posted on April 11, 2020 at 06:48 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

Just had an interesting question. Many of you have been assembling “doomsday” restoration disks for your Win7 systems. What did you put on them?

The big challenge is to assemble the “Group B” security-only patches, wrap them up, and combine them with whatever is necessary to get rid of the upgrade nag screens, minimize telemetry, and the like.

Interesting challenge, methinks.
