Needing info on updates for Win7

I have a few computers that run windows7 including the one I'm on. I tried to reload them and i cant get the video card drivers to load ,I get a popup saying i need two updates/patches. the first one is KB44719 and the other KB4490628. I clicked on them and i said its not compatible with my computer, I don't know what that means.

I'm thinking I need SP1?? and maybe some other updates? Is there a website that has these updates/patches for me to download?
I haven't warmed up to Win10 yet. I'm not going to build a new computer for a few more yrs or at least until DDR5 matures and the video cards are back in stock among other things. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi Barry,
I have a recently built W7 gamer running around on a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K5 motherboard with a Ryzen 3 3600, Nvidia 1080, and 16GB RAM (4x4). As you probably know, most W7 install routines include SP1, but you will need SP2 in order to maximize performance. You can't get SP1 from MS but Major Geeks has it:


Also, here's some help on SP2:

And some good things here for SP3:


Hope this helps.
