Between 2020 and 2023, Microsoft sold Extended Security Updates (ESU) to businesses. These were monthly patches, not a service pack. There is no official ISO that includes ESU patches because those require a specific ESU license key (bypass tools like bypassesu exist but are legally gray).

If you need a 2023-level Windows 7 64-bit ISO, you must create it yourself following Method 1 and then manually integrate the final ESU rollups (KB5022338 for January 2023 – the last ESU for Windows 7 was January 2024 for Embedded POSReady 7).

What this means for you: Any website claiming to offer a "Windows 7 SP3 ISO" is hosting a fake, modified, or potentially malicious file. Do not download files labeled as "SP3."
