I have one win 7 desktop that has a broken updater. I suspect it was one of those updates that caused this to happen (months ago). Tried every repair, tried retail install disk, cannot download new disk to burn (win7 is no longer available?), have to call ms again and allow them to control pc to get it fixed.

But with win 10 coming out, I do want it fixed.

That said, my biggest concern is what will happen if any of these updated from win 7 or 8 puters need restoring at some time in the future. Our restore disks are 7 or 8 - will it be the same story - no longer supported?

Have you tried using the Windows Update Diagnostic Tool?

When I updated to win 7, they made the online package available for a number of years..To back myself up, I saved a copy of it.

I don’t know how they will do this one. If I recall the win 8 beta was a similar setup..

I have not yet received my win 10 update so I am reluctant to guess what the procedure is.
