Windows 7 home network on tethered 3g cell phone.
Any input? How much data is downloaded on average each month for Windows 7 updates? I would think there would be some metrics out there re: what does your Windows 7 PC eat up every month in data, just by being turned on. Pros... My cell carrier is more reliable than my DSL. Cons... How much data do I actually use each month? I never download movies, music, no online gaming...Rick

Hi, What do you want to know? The size of data that downloads each month for Windows 7 updates? Actually, the different Windows 7 versions will download different size data for updating. It is different between 32 bit and 64bit, and Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise are different, too. In addition, if you have installed any other program which detects latest version or update patches, all of these need to download data. I do not think the result is accurate.

Again.. Knowing how large corporations work, and how every little item has a bean counter creating metrics, I bet there is someone at Microsoft who knows how much on avaerage each version of Windows averages in downloads each month. So, you want specifics, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. How much toi this point in avaerage downloads just for updates? To say that these numbers are not known at least generically would mean that Microsoft was just taking a "best guess" at how many meg per month this product rquires as far as data requirements. I am betting there is someone who has the numbers. How many meg per month in downloads to keep Windoes 7 (any version) up to date as far as just patches and service packs?Rick

Hi, Please kindly understand that the size of patches and service packs per month is different. It depends on the software or components that you installed on computer. For example, the graphic driver or languages are also recommended. And the size of patches for diferent language Windows 7 is different, too. Ivan-Liu TechNet Community Support

Why are you arguing? Of course there are different variables to any equation. There is also a baseline against which the mean is drawn. So, to make it easier for you to understand... What is the mean? The average downloads that are expected across all users? Rick
