>>In order to upgrade my IE from IE 9 to 10 I get message that I need to upgrade Windows 7 to at least Pack 1. I do find Windows 7 Pack 1 upgrade from MS site. Then I did a search for Pack 2, just in case, but all the results point to sites other than MS.
>>Is Pack 2 a legitimate upgrade? Or should I just install Pack 1?

The trick with that link is to click on the red "Download" button, then when you are prompted to "choose the download you want", scroll down and select "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" (903.2MB). That's the 64-bit SP; for lurkers, if you want the 32-bit SP select "windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe" (537.8MB).

The link you cited is what I found and I did download the file windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe but have not installed it yet. I am debating (with myself) if I should run this update .exe or update through Windows update.
Thank you.
