thepwrtank18 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 On the Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle page at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2008-r2, it says that Server 2008 R2 updates are available until January 9, 2024 if ran in an Azure server. Would there be a way to apply these updates to Windows 7 when they come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) AIUI Azure servers live in Microsoft's "cloud" - they aren't a piece of hardware you can buy. So I think M$ is just saying they'll keep their own servers updated with all the latest fixes. I'm sure those fixes are the same ones available to all of us via the M$ update catalog - the ones that won't install without an ESU license. So it just means M$ has licensed their own servers to get their own updates I don't think that helps the rest of us. Edit: Looking at your screen shot, it looks to me like year 4 of the ESU updates won't be available to the rest of us at all! It says ESU year 4 is Azure only, so I suspect M$ is keeping those updates to themselves. Edited January 10, 2022 by Mathwiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxiiduu Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Windows POSReady 7 receives ESUs until after that date anyway. It is the last version of Windows 7 to receive updates from Microsoft. Hopefully someone will figure out how to apply its ESUs to Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
