Had a friend drop off an Alienware Windows 7 PC given him which was reset to original configuration.
Well getting the video drivers installed was the easy bit. The updates though (today 18th Jan Auckland time) oh lordi :). After getting the first lot of updates installed where I had to turn of the PC completely, then recheck the updates several times otherwise Windows 7 would give an error about failing to install new updates based on the previous ones. I rechecked the update manager that were showing two important updates and it became 177 important updates. Not including the optional ones.
So Microsoft appears to be still providing updates on current Windows 7 PCs up to the the last official update on the 14th.
 
After this, I'll be suggesting to my friend he get the Windows 10 upgrade after Window 7 recovers from this lot.
 
I'tll be interesting to hear from any one who was still able to get all these Windows 7 updates from an original install state post the official end of the update cycle.
