Windows 7 SP1 released

Have you installed it yet?

February 22, 2011 7:46:20 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

Well, I installed the public release of SP1 for Windows 7 64 bit today and everything went fine. My system was already up to date and it was a little over an 85mb download.

I think I'll run a few benchmarks to see if it effects performance in any fashion just for the heck of it.

Anyone else updated yet?

The downloading and installation of SP1 went fine for me.  I did notice one thing though, I now have more space available on my HD.  Is that because the update deleted some stuff?

I downloaded mine directly from Microsoft since I have more than 1 PC to update.

You can download it directly from here.

 

Be sure to read the file descriptions in the instructions for the correct file to download.

The download finished. Its installing now. About three quarters done but its very slow. You know the animation that goes across the progress ber. It stops and starts, like its hanging up instead of going smoothly. I noticed this a few times when I dl stuff. Sometimes the download hangs up. What might cause that?

If you download through Windows Update it only downloads what is missing from the system to bring it up to SP1.  If you download the whole SP1 there is ine for x32 and x64, the x64 one being 903.2 MB.  If you want both download the .iso as it contains both x32 and x64 installs.

My download from windows update took quite awhile, I forgot to time it, I just let it do it's thing in the background and forgot about it till I closed a window. Don't see any problems so far, but...

isn't there anything pretty in this update? is it all hidden stuff?
