Error 8007000e when updating on Win7 Ultimate fresh install
Hi all :)
I have reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate on my granddaughters' HP Pavilion Slimline. That was the original OS on it, but, somehow Win 10 got updated on it by accident. MS is constantly putting up free Win 10 upgrade notices across the top of the browsers with an X to select which normally is ignored. However, I think that somehow at one point the X got clicked and installed the dang Win 10 and the computer has not worked properly since, and then finally would not load up at all.
I did a clean install of the original Win7 Ultimate which managed to put things back to normal. However, when I tried to do the updates it started out normally, but, then I keep getting the error 8007000E just after it starts.
I have read the threads here regarding the error and they don't give me much clue about my problem. I also checked on-line about the error and there are some supposedly fixes for the error, however, I am not anxious to try them as I may get more problems than the one I have.
I am a a long time MS Tech Beta Tester and was on the Win7 beta, but, never incurred the 8007000E error to remember any of the other BT's getting it. I am in hopes someone can give me a clue as to why I am getting this error and how to fix it so I can do the necessary updating on the new install.
I would truly appreciate any suggestions or assistance on this matter.
Thank you in advance,
Tink
