1. First things first, Why Service Pack 1 needed to be installed

2. What about Windows Update in Windows 7

But still in some cases users are using Windows 7 system due to their computer hardware configuration issues or any software or device driver compatibility issues.

And I’m socked when users are doing the wrong way to updating their system on Service Pack 1 level by editing their Windows Registry value. Which is not the right way to do this. Because Service Pack 1 is not just a name or title of Windows 7, it is a process of updating the entire Windows system that you have to update your system with the help of Windows Update or download the update manually from Microsoft site itself.

Patches also known as KB (Knowledge Base). Meaning that when you download any update or patches its start from KB and their respective numbers given by Microsoft.
