    Something about Windows 2016 ‘convenience rollup’ isn't entirely true.

    When I redid my laptop Windows 7x64 Ult Sp1 update I got a surprise what I though was that the ‘convenience rollup’ for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 up to April 2016 didn't update as they said it would. They said you didn't need updates from April 2016 and older but that is wrong. When I did a Windows Update check to my surprise I need more update roughly about around or close to 300MB extra after a clean install with the convenience rollup. So Microsoft Windows Convenience Rollup is anything but convenience. Only after multiple downloads and reimages of the system did I finally get all the updates to finish what was needed. I am glad I did this otherwise my other system-that I am going to redo would've had been opened and exposed. Now I can be sure I am updated properly.
