The last Service packs for the Windows 7 and Window Server 2008 R2 were published in 2011. After more than five years Microsoft published over 230 important updates. Installing those updates on a freshly installed computer will take more than an hour. In most instances we need even two hours to completely update the computer.
This update is not available through the Windows Update channel. You can download it from the Microsoft Catalog website. You need to install one update before it and this can be done on the clean, freshly installed, Windows 7 SP1 or Server 2008 R2 SP1 computer.
We need to download the prerequisite update KB3020369. In case you are trying to download it from a computer with IE8, here are the links for direct download for the 32-bit and 64-bit computer. The 64-bit version is same for both the Windows 7 x64 SP1 and the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
As you can see, we can download three updates. Although offered two downloads for the Windows 7 x64 and Windows 2008 R2, those update are the same. Choose all the updates that you need. As we discussed earlier, you can download both version on the USB pen drive and later apply them from that disk.

Enhancements in Windows Server 2008 R2 include new functionality for Active Directory, new virtualization and management features, version 7.5 of the Internet Information Services web server and support for up to 256[13] logical processors. It is built on the same kernel used with the client-oriented Windows 7, and is the first server operating system released by Microsoft to exclusively support 64-bit processors, a move which was followed by the consumer-oriented Windows 11 in 2021. Windows Server 2008 R2 is also the last version of Windows to support Itanium processors; its successor, Windows Server 2012, supports x64 processors only. 2ff7e9595c
