Some of these updates are only useful if you want to update to Windows 10, and install software in your system to analyze it and report back to Microsoft all of your software and hardware so that Microsoft can decide if your computer is ready for Windows 10, and to push adverising for Windows 10 onto your system as appropriate.
Some of the updates are legitimate security fixes that have nothing to do with Windows 10, and are to help your Windows 7 system more secure.
