Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes

Important Windows 7 updates and Windows Server 2008 R2 updates are included in the same packages. However, updates on the Update Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the update package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the update that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each update applies to.

• The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
  
  

  Version	Product	Milestone	Service branch
  6.1.760 0.16xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	RTM	GDR
  6.1.760 0.21xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	RTM	LDR
  6.1.760 1.17xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	SP1	GDR
  6.1.760 1.21xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	SP1	LDR

• GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain updates in addition to widely released fixes.
• The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
