Hello

 

 

I have a problem with the Windows 8 update. It is a 64 bit OS. The computer hasnt been updated since 2012 ( its not my computer, its my little cousins and im trying to fix it). It seemed like there was a virus on it and I was able to get rid of it by getting rid of unnessary files and deleting the third party anti-virus which i believed was causing the problem. The computer runs much smoother now since but I am unable to update the OS to current version. Everytime i check for updates it takes forever.I also tried The windows store to see if i can download the windows 8.1 version but it says i need to update windows still before i can do that. I even tried to download the updates from microsft and install manually but the windows standalone updater again takes forever! What can i do? Im running the sfc/scannow command to see if that will work. But is there something Im missing? Do i have to completely re-install the Windows OS from a boot CD/DVD?
