Windows Updated

Windows Updated is a project created by IulianArian, which aims to resolve the issue of having to install Windows Updates on a new install of Windows, by including the updates straight on the ISO itself.

History

IulianArian started the Windows Updated project after he saw that a YouTuber which made Windows updated ISOs, started to lock them behind a pay wall. IulianArian seeing this started the Windows Updated project, which aims to update every Windows ISO that is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Early stages

When IulianArian started this project in June of 2023, he made the ISOs by himself. Everything was right until he stumbled across Windows Vista, Windows Vista doesn't really have a tool to intergrade updates and other components into the ISO. So, he skipped it! Focusing on Windows 7 and its editions.

The rehosting era

In February 2024, IulianArian came across 2 Windows 7 AIO ISOs on the Internet Archive, that had all the updates already integrated into them. IulianArian downloaded the ISOs, packaged them into a .7z, and uploaded them on Google Drive, the palce he used to distribute the ISOs.

Besides the 2 Windows 7 AIO ISOs, IulianArian also found 2 Windows 7 Enterprise ISOs. Along with 2 Windows 8.1 AIO ISOs, and 2 Windows 8.1 Enterprise ISOs, with all of the updates of course.

These ISO were uploaded with credits to the original authors.

The stagnation

Nowadays, Windows Updated is mostly forgotten about for being a project that requires a lot more work than IulianArian's other projects, like BanatVista or OpenGeo.
