The thing is, my laptop is new and fine... I am very happy with it. It's just Windows Updates keeps being a dick. I just refreshed my whole PC to Windows 8 but still getting problems.
But for what it's worth here is what you asked for:
Processor: AMD E1 - 1200 APU with Radeon ™ HD Graphics 1.40 GHz
RAM: 4GB (3.60 GB usable)
Free HDD space: 375 GB of 445 GB
64-bit system.
Display resolution: 1366x768
Everything is just the default, it's all refreshed. It all works fine and smoothly, the updates just fuck up.
Do I have to turn my firewall and anti virus off or something? Dangerous but are they preventing the updaes?
Guess what. I try to update to Windows 8.1 and it says other Windows updates have to be installed first. But when I tell it to it does "checking for updates" for about half an hour, and then stops checking, and tells me to restart. I restart to find still no updates have been done as it requires them for Windows 8.1 still.
You know what I think? I think it probably couldn't do the updates before I installed 8.1 before, but eventually it timed out and forced me to upgrade to Windows 8.1 without the necessary updates being completed... so I think that's why after 8.1 installed the other updates failed, because they require the previous updates.
I think it will eventually force me to do 8.1 all over again and fail updates and make me revert to basic Windows 8 all over again.
I really need to get these other updates done before it forces me to upgrade to 8.1
The worst part is by the time it forces me, it may be past the 29th of this month, so I may actually have to buy Windows 10... and then the update to Windows 10 still might not work until I actually get these other updates done. Sigh.
