    Update to SP1 - Learn how to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
    Ok. I thought I didn't need it since I had previous updates, but my Network Security professor said we should get it. I heard they already have SP2 also?

    The automatic update failed. I downloaded the update manually, but it says it failed because I am missing necessary Windows components. So what now?

    Did it give you an error code?

    Run the system update readiness tool

    I got the update to download through Windows Update, but it still says I am missing Windows components. Could it have anything to do with the corrupted files sfc couldn't fix? Microsoft's website says to reinstall Windows and try installing the service pack again, but I want to avoid that if possible.

    I did the in-place upgrade. It worked, and I could activate Windows online with no problems. The service pack installed fine, and a new sfc scan found no discrepancies.

    Thank you for all your help, and I guess I'm good for now unless I get a BSOD again.

I used to get intermittent BSODs, maybe once every 2-3 weeks. Now I've gotten 4 in the past 24 hours, all with different errors.
