>>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?

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842 . 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.
