How to Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 7 SP1

Some users currently have Windows 7 computers that need to be upgraded to Windows 7 SP1 to install and use our software.

Disclaimer: Windows 7 SP1 is Microsoft's upgrade to the Windows 7 system, so all download addresses in this article are official Microsoft URLs. ETAGEAR does not provide download services for upgrade patches or installation files.

Below is an introduction to the upgrade method:

First, you need to confirm whether your system is Windows 7 SP1. If so, you can install our ETAGEAR 2.0 version. If not, the VC++ 2017 runtime installation will fail with a configuration error, and our software will not run properly. In that case, you need to upgrade your system according to the instructions below.
