KB2990214 and KB2952664
Anyone install these?
Sounds like you may have to reinstall your OS if you install KB2990214 and then dl and install the Win10 Technical Preview and then want to revert back to your Win7 OS. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...%207&p=windows Seems like the uninformed may just install that update and also the Win10TP and not realize what they are getting themselves into. Wow. The KB2952664 says: "This update helps Microsoft make improvements to the current operating system in order to ease the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows." https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2952664 Any thoughts or advice? Will KB2952664 screw up your Win7 HP SP1 64bit OS or help it or give private info to MS? Thanks, Buffalo |

Will KB2952664 screw up your Win7 HP SP1 64bit OS or help it or give private info to MS? Thanks, Buffalo The 2990214 KB article is pretty clear. qp If you want to go back to your previous operating system ****You'll need to reinstall your version of Windows from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC (typically DVD media).**** If you don't have recovery media: For Windows 7 or Windows Vista: Before you update, you might be able to create recovery media from a recovery partition on your PC using software provided by your PC manufacturer. Check the support section of your PC manufacturer's website for more info. For Windows 8.1 or Windows 8: You might be able to create a USB recovery drive. For more info, see Create a USB recovery drive. If you didn’t create a USB recovery drive before you installed the preview, you can create installation media for Windows 8.1. /qp KB 2952664 is specifically for making Win7 and Win8.1 ready for installing the free Win10 RTM upgrade (when it becomes available and only for supported hardware). -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

That's what I do on most of the "Optional" type updates. I'm a firm believer of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".... -- Zo CLIMATE: What you do with a ladder. |

Well...maybe. g If the KB's underlying code is updated, it may be offered again as an available update even if the prior was hidden. - i.e. Windows Update 'push' is smart enough to ensure that happens. -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |
