3 Windows Updates that will not install (Solved)
derrick.m.weiss:
Yea I gave my product key and it gave me a error reference code of 715-123130
Shane:
Looks like the links either have been removed or the server is having trouble. Those where the download links from MS, that sucks they are not working.
In fact all the download links I have used and given people are no longer working. Which is really really odd.
Ah but I did find this which is something Boggin said MS has started doing
--- Quote ---Microsoft has stopped providing Windows 7 ISO images directly to the public. However you can download it directly from Microsoft if you have a genuine Windows 7 product key.

Which looks like MS has now fully enforced and has gone around the net to remove as many links to download it as they could. Very interesting this happened just a few months before Windows 10 is due out.

Found some more info on it, looks like it is because 10 is coming out and 7 has such a huge market share.

What is MS thinking?

derrick.m.weiss:
It sucks for the guy like me who lost the installation disk and needs to do a repair on a machine but now cant.
Shane:
I hear you. While I have all the ISO's I cant just post them to people. They are nearly 4GB in size and MS would have a hay day coming after me to take down the links now that they have done this.
So now users have no choice but to get the ISO's from torrent sites, which then is dangerous if a user donst know what they are doing.
All of this because they want users to move to 10 instead of reinstalling 7. And that is because they want a part of that app store pie that Apple and Google enjoy.
