Search for a patch collection download bringing a newly installed W7 to standard SP1 from 2011.

And use exclusively these to update W7 if you reinstall it.
Note that such collections usually get updated by the maintainer of these collections. So if you wait another couple of days, the critical items of December Black Thursday will be included. I would not want these anymore.
Keep your notes on critical KB updates from the past, since Spring 2014 (that roughly when MS started its coups to overthrow users' freedom of choice and freedom to reject). If you ever update from these downloaded patch collections, have these critical numbers excluded from the installer. This is a German download site, pick the third line of download icons (W7), left icon that reads "Vollversion" (full version - the one to the right is just an update from an earlier library version) These collections still are 2.58.1 at the time I write this and still do not include the December malware.
An SP1 pack must be installed before this, but should be easier to find via Google.
Stop caring to ever switch on Windows Update for W7 again. Understand that you are now under attack by Microsoft- and they will not stop that soon. Its no ideal solution - its the lesser of two evils only. Thats why I recomend to go dual boot, to reduce the risk from being exposed to all the non-MS threats out there.
