New windows 7 install will not update (multiple computers)
rizo:
I am attempting through the windows 10 media tool, i just created a usb loader hoping that ......idk really ...maybe that has a better chance of working for no reason at all lol
honestly i have been balancing work, family, college work, and these computers..... so i am attempting zero effort tactics until i am at least 4 days ahead of my assignments so i can spare some time....... i would really love to pour a glass of whiskey and play drums.... but at this rate........
when i do catch up i will try all of your suggestions and update.

I install more windows 7 machines then I do 10 by a far amount.
I made a new Windows 7 setup disk with all the updates up to last month already on it and included drivers for USB support for intel and a few others into the setup on it as well. I had a stubborn laptop with USB3 that wouldnt work, new setup cd I made did the trick.
I can hook you up with the tools I used to make it, but since the setup cd is set to do it for home, home pre, pro and ultimate it took about 2 to 3 hours to compile each. I then also have a lot of drivers on it as well to help save time.
The image compressed is about 5 GB and so I put it on a usb drive and install it from there. Then if I want to do the Windows 10 upgrade for free I use the usb stick I have with the latest ISO they use and just run it right from the USB stick instead of downloading it, it updates like it should. i also make sure to let the Windows 10 setup download the updates for the install.
Feel free to email me and I can hook you up with the tools to make a more up to date windows 7 install, or I could try to hook you up with my custom image but not sure where the crap I would store a 5gb file privately lol

Good evening
Sorry for not responding earlier, Son had his 2nd birthday, working on med board paperwork, trying to stay ahead of college assignments...etc
I really appreciate the response, and would love both your personal ISO and the tools to build my own.
I have found that I only have a 40 minute window in the morning to start updates, if not I can not get windows update to work any other time through out the day. I live in Italy and the internet here is horrendous.
I have pushed two of the three to windows 10 using USB. and then used the tweak tool to see if I can speed them up.
out of about 30 computers I have updated to 10 these are the only slow ones which is weird all of them have over 2.0 ghz and 2 gb ram so I am confused. they are just sluggish and take a couple seconds to respond to any actions. I am thinking of reverting back to 7 xdark 4.2.
I am at work now in which google drive is restricted, as soon as I get home I will share a folder so you can upload to it, unless you have an easier way of sharing.

Sorry for the late reply. I get so busy with my computer repair business, the websites, forums, customers calling me and then my wife and 5 kids that it has come really hard for me to get to the forums everyday.
It would be a lot better for you to email me directly on this one. I did get your email for the google drive space, of course when I got it I didnt know who it was from since I dont know your email by heart so i deleted the email lol
The problem with google drive is it is a 5.96 GB file and if the connection breaks I need to be able to resume where I left off, normally I use FTP for this.
Shoot me an email and we will fig something out :-)
