If you go for the repair install,
Do you want a newer W7 with SP1,(pro 64bit engish) version.

Hi QP,
suspect your disc does NOT have SP1 on it.
Roy
oh, it might not. The disc has the year 2010 on it. Where does that leave me?
waiting to download this W7 SP1:)

Thank you, downloading it now. I will try tomorrow morning as my work day is currently done.
Ok Sorry for the delay but this laptop is behaving oddly when it comes to updates.
Here is the 6 per-requist files and the result of trying to install them (each file took about 10-12 hours to attempt to install)
KB2729094 - Already installed
KB2731771 - Not applicable

I skipped ahead to Repair Install
I made a USB stick of the installation media you provided and followed the directions on the page.
I started the install from the computer being boot up into the existing Windows 7 install.
I proceeded to Step 9 and chose the "Go online to get the latest updates for installation..." That ran over the weekend and when I came in just now I saw the attached picture I've included with this posting of the error message I got.
How shall I proceed?
A repair install will not help. Backup your data and do a clean install. What you are trying will never make it right.
After installing windows you install the 2 updates found in this thread.
Windows Update will not update and I've tried multiple fixes
After that you install only security updates, then you go over the description of each and every important/recommended update to see if you want or even need it.
I have never installed any updates while installing Windows, if you don`t have the ethernet drivers installed it`s impossible anyway, no reason to even try. (I understand you are already in windows)
3 recent installs done in the last 2 weeks, no windows update issues at all, and a perfect sfc, and these are the updates you can skip and hide, W7 is now a snap to install again.
