How old is your Windows install? What's your hardware? If it's an old install of Windows or old hardware, it's going to take a while.

2-4 years, but last time I installed sp1 it was max 2-3 months or maybe few days and it took hours.
iHardware is ntel core i5-4430, 4GB ram, radeon hd6770 and it supose to be ok.

So you installed SP1 2-3 months ago? Why do you think you need to install it again? Did you reinstall Windows without SP1?

 

[genek]

no, last time i installed sp1 my windows install was 2-3 months old or few days old (i don't remember)

You only need to install SP1 once. Why are you re-installing it when you installed it already?

because i reinstall win

That's not how you made it sound. You made it sound like you installed it 2-3 months ago and were trying to install it for a second time.

Did you even look at WSUS?

Fresh install and download SP1 image.

Seriously? He said literally 3 posts above yours he just reinstalled Windows.

because i reinstall win

 

[Okedokey]

ah ok, sorry.

 

[genek]

I don't reinstall win now. Maybe I wrote it too short for you to understand, but current win install is 2-4 years old and I installed sp1 on fresh win before (another win install) and it takes hours and I want to avoid it this time.

I think we've all spent more time in this thread trying to help than it would be for you to just deal with the install time.

 

[genek]

I don't think that we spent 8h in this thread

 

[voyagerfan99]

Just slipstream the damn service pack. Then you don't need to worry about it.

On beefy hardware SP1 should take 30-45 minutes on a clean install.

Besides, installing SP1 is the least of your problems with Windows 7 these days.

And I'm asking why it takes hours?

4GB of RAM is not considered beefy hardware.

Few posts ealier some1 said it should take 30min on my comp and now it's not good enough? 4GB of ram is good enough for witcher3 and not good enough for installing system upgrade?

Video games demand is not on your harddrive performance. you can't just directly compare the two.
