I know a few of us are interested in 0Patch to keep Windows 7 running now that we’ve reached EOL. There are quite a few mentions of it here and there in various forums, but I thought maybe starting a new topic would make any discussion of 0Patch more easily found.
0Patch has started patching Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2 with their PRO patches [From their blog page 2/21]:
With February 2020 Patch Tuesday we began our three-year journey of providing critical security micropatches for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to our users, who could not – or decided not to – use Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates.
They’ve also created an online test to see if computers are ready for the 0Patch micropatches – very easy and clearly tells you if you are ready or not. Instructions are on their blog page – link above.
Just thought this might be of interest to some. I’ve gone ahead and bought a PRO license – I had a PRO trial, which worked great, and now that we’re at the end of MS patches for Win 7, especially those of us with Home, I figured I’d give 0Patch a try. So far so good – very light on resources, and does notify me when patches are applied.
