Windows 7 help

tazwhoever

I have installed W7 and replaced Vista as Chrome wouldn't be supported.

On W7 I have two icons that I want removed from desktop, Libraries and Homegroup?

I have currently doing W7 update and it's taking ages...it is saying "checking for updates..."

Thanks

Please help

I am running windows 7 updates and it is saying checking for updates. This is first time I am checking for updates on Windows 7 (moved from Vista to Windows 7).

Because of this I can't run 'safe money' on KIS 2015 until the OS is updated fully.

Thanks

can take ages , but when they start , they will all start


try doing a restart , hopefully it will install the first , then the rest will follow later when you update

Thanks pappa golf, I will leave it overnight and see what happens......

Plus W7 I have two icons that I want removed from desktop, Libraries and Homegroup?

sounds strange those being on the desktop , was this a CLEAN installation or an upgrade installation from vista?




try a reboot (reboot and install updates) a few times to get updates started


the version of win 7 , how old was it ? early version or with service packs ,

ok we have discussed the upgade from vista on this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5390157


I made my comments known on that thread , win 7 upgrade from vista was a good few years ago , and back then I never managed to get a good working win 7


others will argue , but I suggest copying your files off it , trawl the web to the makers site and d/load drivers for win 7 (especially network card) then do a clean install /custom /delete all partitions and create new

Delete them then.

It will take ages. After you have installed the updates you will have to run again and again until there are no more updates as well.

I am tried updating windows on W7 but the error code comes -

Error code: 8007000E

Please let me know how I can fix this, saw a video on YT but didn't help.

I am sure there are millions of users who may have this problem in the past.

Thanks
