Windows 7 Service Pack 1已发布：但是您应该安装它吗？

Microsoft has just released the final version of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, but should you drop everything and go through the process of installing it? Where can you get it? We’ve got the answers for you.

Microsoft刚刚发布了Windows 7 Service Pack 1的最终版本，但是您应该删除所有内容并完成安装过程吗？ 在哪里可以买到？ 我们为您找到了答案。

If you’ve never installed a service pack before, it’s just a big collection of fixes and changes for your operating system, bundled into a big fat download to make it more convenient if you reinstall—if you’ve kept Windows updated, it should have most of the fixes already installed through Windows Update.

如果您以前从未安装过Service Pack，那么它只是针对您的操作系统的大量修复程序和更改，并捆绑在一个庞大的下载文件中，以使其在重新安装时更加方便-如果您一直在更新Windows，则应该已通过Windows Update安装了大多数修补程序。

您应该问的问题的答案 (Answers to Questions You Should Be Asking)

Whether you were going to ask these questions or not, we’re giving you the answers that you really need to know.

无论您是否要问这些问题，我们都会为您提供您真正需要知道的答案。

• Where Do You Download It?While you can download the service pack manually from the Microsoft Download site, you should probably just go through Windows Update and select the optional SP1 update from there, since it’ll only download exactly what you need. More on this below.

  您在哪里下载它？ 虽然可以从Microsoft下载站点手动下载Service Pack，但您可能应该只是通过Windows Update并从那里选择可选的SP1更新，因为它只会下载所需的内容。 在下面的更多内容。

• It’s in Windows Update? Will I Get it Automatically?

  在Windows Update中吗？ 我会自动获取吗？

  Nope. It’s an optional update (at this point) in Windows Update, so you’ll only get it if you choose to install it.

  不。 这是Windows Update中的一个可选更新(此时)，因此只有在选择安装时才能得到它。

• Does This Make You More Secure?

  这会使您更安全吗？

  If you haven’t installed anything off Windows Update in a while, first, shame on you! It’s important to keep yourself updated! Also, this release is essentially a big fat roundup of all the security fixes and bugfixes since Windows 7 was released, combined with a few extra bits of functionality.

  如果您有一段时间没有在Windows Update上安装任何东西，那么首先，让您感到羞耻！ 保持更新很重要！ 此外，此版本实质上是自Windows 7发行以来所有安全修复程序和错误修复的重要摘要，并结合了一些额外的功能。

  If you have Windows Update set to automatic, the service pack will not make you more secure.

  如果您将Windows Update设置为自动，则Service Pack将不会使您更加安全。

• How Long Does It Take to Install?

  安装需要多长时间？

  The installation time isn’t terribly long, about 30 minutes, but depending on your internet connection, it’ll take quite a while to download. Your best bet is to start the install and then walk away for a while.

  安装时间不是很长，大约30分钟，但是根据您的Internet连接，下载它会花费一些时间。 最好的选择是开始安装，然后暂时离开。

• Should I Drop Everything and Install it Today?

  我应该丢掉所有东西并立即安装吗？

  Not unless you’re bored or you haven’t run updates in a long time. There’s very little in terms of new features, and you’d be better off waiting until the download rush is over. There’s also the possibility of problems, so you might want to wait.

  除非您感到无聊或很长一段时间没有运行更新，否则不会这样。 关于新功能的介绍很少，最好等到下载高峰结束后再进行。 还有可能出现问题，因此您可能需要等待。

If you do want to download it directly, you can do so from the Microsoft Download site.

如果确实要直接下载它，则可以从Microsoft下载站点进行下载。

Service Pack 1中的新功能 (New Features in Service Pack 1)

There’s not a ton of great new stuff in SP1, at least from the perspective of the end user. Here’s the quick list of stuff that might maybe matter to you:

至少从最终用户的角度来看，SP1中没有很多很棒的新东西。 以下是可能对您很重要的内容的快速清单：

• Improved HDMI audio device performance: there’s a small update that helps reliability of HDMI audio devices after rebooting. This is listed as a feature in the release notes, but really feels like a bug fix.

  改进的HDMI音频设备性能：有一个小的更新，可帮助重启后提高HDMI音频设备的可靠性。 这在发行说明中列为功能，但确实感觉像是一个错误修复。

• Corrected behavior when printing mixed-orientation XPS documents: If you’re trying to print XPS documents that have landscape and portrait pages in the same document, now they will print correctly. All 5 of you can now rejoice.

  已纠正打印混合方向XPS文档时的行为：如果您要打印在同一文档中具有横向和纵向页面的XPS文档，则它们将正确打印。 你们所有人5现在都可以欢喜了。

• Change to behavior of “Restore previous folders at logon” functionality: If you used the “Restore previous folders at logon” feature in Folder Options, the folders would restore into a cascaded set of windows. Now they will restore to where they were.

  更改为“在登录时还原以前的文件夹”功能的行为：如果您使用了“文件夹选项”中的“在登录时还原先前的文件夹”功能，则这些文件夹将还原为级联的窗口集。 现在他们将恢复到原来的状态。

  支持高级矢量扩展(AVX)：支持更新的处理器扩展，可提高浮点密集型应用程序的性能。
