Is your Date and Time correct, wrong time may prevent it from installing. During install, disable restart my PC automatically. Btw, I had Windows 7 Premiumedition on my computer, and didnt have to disable my Norton anti-virus. Yes, it wouldbegin to install, but then, as above, fail. Look for KB3004394, if you have it, uninstall that and restart.Try installing SP1 manually, from the stand alone file you've downloaded. I eventually got SP 1 to install (after several failedattempts through the Update Options that come with Windows 7). If there isn't any more updates, then go control panel and open the list of installed updates. Inside Windows Updates are there any other updates in the list? If so can you download and install it?

The recommended (and easiest) way to get updates such as service packs is to turn on Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and let Windows notify.

Service packs take about 30 minutes to install, and you'll need to restart your computer about halfway through the installation.

With the windows update i select the service pack 1 update. Make sure you install the latest service pack to help keep Windows up to date. with the manual update that you download from the website it just plain says it failed. When you install Win7 SP1 what is the error message, is there a error code?Īre you installing SP1 through Windows Updates or did you download a stand alone version and tried to install by itself?įrom Windows Updates, are you able to install other updates?
