You can't do it anymore on Windows 7, because they switched to the consolidated patch model of 10. Now, the possibility you have are mainly a linear security only channel, and a linear security+stability(+eventually features) channel.

If you can't trust a security patch you can't trust microsoft at all. I wish I could remember the exact things they pushed but I have a feeling they were windows 10 related.

In the May 9th 'Security Rollup'; "Updated Internet Explorer 11’s New Tab Page with an integrated newsfeed." [0] I cannot disentagle this update from the other ACTUAL security updates.
