Today, we are announcing a similar approach for earlier versions of Windows. Beginning in April, we will publish three single-page experiences that provide the same level of contextual information about updates for:
- Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Just like their Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 counterpart, these three, new unified update history pages for previous versions will contain:
- Release notes listing the improvements and fixes in the update
- Content previously found separately in Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) articles (how to get the update, known issues, the complete list of affected files)
