I am working (or I should say I have NTLite working) on integrating all Windows 7 updates plus Dell drivers on a Windows 7 SP1 ISO image. It is presently processing KB3125574 (that's the Win 7 Rollup, isn't it?) and has been for the last hour. It is stuck at 7%. I cannot tell if it is doing anything, or if it is stuck.
Windows Task Manager has NTLite pegged at 12-13%. My laptop is a Dell m4600 with an Intel Core i7-2960XM (2.7GHz, quadcore), 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD running Windows 7.1 (fully patched -- rebooted after having just run Windows Update.) The HDD light keeps flashing intermittently / irregularly.
Question: How can I tell if NTLite is slogging its way through KB3125574 (~480MB update) and its just going to take a while, or if it is stuck?
How long should integrating KB125574 take? How long should the entire integration process take?
Background:
I purchased a (refurbished) Dell Precision m5520 with a Kaby Lake core i7 processor. After receiving it, with Windows 10 Pro, I went about looking at installing Windows 7 Pro x64 on it... as I have several engineering software packages that will not run correctly on Windows 10. That was when I discovered that Microsoft has disabled (or attempted to make it as difficult as possible) to run Windows 7 on Kaby Lake. After much Googling, it appears that Windows 7 WILL run on Kaby Lake, but I am going to have to slipstream drivers and updates into a Windows 7 x64 ISO image.
I was able to find and download Windows 7 x64 drivers from Dell, so I am trying to slipstream those drivers plus the Windows 7 Updates (downloaded via the Windows Update Downloader per the Raymond.cc article: https://www.raymond.cc/blog/create-an-integrated-up-to-date-windows-7-install-disc/view-all/)
Any help / pointers / counsel (e.g. be patient...) / appreciated.
Thx.
