Win 7 Pro X64 "Some updates were not installed" Code 80073701

Well,

I have been getting that above error now since roughly December or so. Since then SOME updates have installed others not at all (usually the important security updates). I am here because I have tried everything that I could find on my own to no avail.

This is my main PC, Win 7 64 Pro, 8 core AMD, 32GB.

Just before I noticed the errors installing updates I went from a mechanical Hard Drive to a Samsung SSD via cloning my OS (860 EVO 1 TB). In addition to that and about the same time "I cut the cable" so to say and ditched my ISP: COMCAST... I mention that because I was using their free version of NORTON Utilities which included their Anti-Virus and firewall. Because I cancelled Comcast - they in turn cancelled my Norton subscription. So I went and bought a retail version of Norton Utilities and reinstalled.

Anyhow, I am going to try and share my CBS.zip file via Dropbox (It's 48mb in size?)
and a print-screen of the error I have been seeing for months.

I am a little tech savvy (I built the machine I'm running) but I am no genius either so please bear with me and thanks for any help in advance...

PS
I am considering moving to Win 10 Pro via upgrade but I can't get that to work either. (Getting "We couldn't install Windows 100x8007001F-0x20006 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during REPLICATE_OC operation). I SUSPECT that I can't upgrade because I am unable to get Win 7 updates to work.

Vineet,
Thanks. I have considered doing a clean install and will do that if necessary and am saving that option as a last chance effort as I use this PC to do a fair amount of photo editing.

I have stand-alone versions of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop installed and I am worried that once I wipe those from my HDD that I may not be able to reinstall them. I originally purchased previous/older stand-alone versions of both and then installed downloaded updates on top of the original versions. I would rather not pay Adobe's subscription fees for their "cloud" based programs.

And for that reason I am willing to give the upgrade route a try before doing a fresh install.




Snick,
Many thanks in advance!!!

Snick,
I have several external drive to which I do frequent backups of important files.
Thanks again :)

It took about 2 hours to run SURT... Here is what is in the C/Windows/temp folder now.

CheckSUR.zip - Google Drive

and dropbox: Dropbox - CheckSUR.zip

Thanks

I apologize if I uploaded the wrong set of logs... I shared what was in C/Windows/temp (where the checksur folder was) and I now wonder if I should be sharing what is in C/windows/logs again (?). Here are the files in the CBS folder again after running SURT - I apologize for any confusion:
