Re: How to install sp2 on windows 7

Hi,

 

The latest Service Pack for Windows 7 is SP1 - there is no SP2 or SP3 available.

Re: How to install sp2 on windows 7

Hi: In order for me to be able to install the anti virus offered by my internet company I have to upgrade to Service Pack2.

Is there any solutions to that?

 

Thank you for your support.

Re: How to install sp2 on windows 7

Hi,

 

Are you sure they are referring to Windows 7?

 

Please see the list below for the service pack level available for the Three main versions of Windows.

 

Windows 7          Service Pack 1

Windows Vista   Service Pack 2

Windows XP       Service Pack 3

 

There is definitely no sp2 for Windows 7 and any download you may see for it will be fake.

 

Regards,

Re: How to install sp2 on windows 7

Yes I just got this computer last month and it came with a windows home premium.

 

 

That's why my internet company is saying that the only way I can install the antivirus on this computer is to upgrade to sp2 or 3 first.

 

It's a little confusing but I'm hope I can find a way to install that antivirus on it.

 

Thanks for your help.

Re: How to install sp2 on windows 7

Hi,

 

I'm not sure why your Internet Company is saying you need to upgrade Windows 7 to sp2 or sp3 as neither of these service packs exist.  The only service pack for Windows 7 is sp1.

 

If you wish to read further on the development of Windows 7 and the latest service pack that's available - there is a good article Here.

 

As an alternative to whatever your Internet company is offering, if you want a good Security solution for your notebook, you could download and install the free Microsoft Security Essentials.

 

Best regards,
