Win 7 monthly security/quality patching

[inca]

Had to re-install my Win7 on a laptop.

May I know for the new way of the monthly security patching, do I need to install all the various monthly security/quality rollup patches or I just need to do the most current (June) rollup patch.

Thanks

Monthly Rollup
From October 2016 onwards, Windows will release a single Monthly Rollup that addresses both security issues and reliability issues in a single update. The Monthly Rollup will be published to Windows Update (WU), WSUS, SCCM, and the Microsoft Update Catalog. Each month’s rollup will supersede the previous month’s rollup, so there will always be only one update required for your Windows PCs to get current. i.e. a Monthly Rollup in October 2016 will include all updates for October, while November 2016 will include October and November updates, and so on. Devices that have this rollup installed from Windows Update or WSUS will utilize express packages, keeping the monthly download size small.
