Resolved why no Win 7 updates .. when was last ?

ok ... got ... have cloned my HD ... poised ... bit nervous about this ,as read lots comments in forums about failures, apps not working ,system probs, et al , as a result of applying SP1 ...

b4 i do this , i wud like to ask about the SP1 ...
apart from W7 fixes , patches , and so in ,does KB976932 also include and apply security updates of the type usually we get via WUpdate ?
if so, would the SP1 include old WUpdates that were in vogue back when SP1 was released ,and, if so , would it apply them now ,and in doing so then overwrite , negate ,conflict with ,the many WUpdates i have been able to do without SP1 ,ie up until August 2013, and which now exist in my W7 system at the moment ?

thanks

 

You shouldn't have any problems as any Patches already applied will stay in place and duplicates in KB976932 will not be applied. The bootom line - keep up to date. Neil.

 

thanks ,guys ... will blast off tonight ...

 

hi guys .... made sure my hd was virus-free , 100% cloned both partitions to my backup internal hd , read all the blurb at M$oft about how-to et al { u can tell i am a Capricorn eh } ...

created a Restore point { just to be sure } ... and ran the SP1 ... after a lengthy install process , "failed" , it tried again , same result ...

closed down ... rebooted ,waded thru Event Viewer and so on ...

hunched it ,and disconnected my internet so i cud turn off my non-Windows firewall ,and via Task Manager i closed every lurking app,including my Virus protection { which i felt , from previous experiences , was probably the cause } ...

yippeee ... success ...

System now shows as SP1 ... altho not in the Ctrl Panel -Programs installed ? nor in Update History ??

am checking all my apps before i start to install all the updates of which i am now notified , many of these not for me ,eg foreign language updates , .NET 3.5 ,when i am .NET 4.1 , update to enable update to Win8.1 ( !! NEVER !! ) ..

will need a few days to complete the audit of my SP1 compatabilities , but so far looks gud ...

thanks guys for the help and advice on this ..
