Windows 8.1 isn't updating and can't be set up for Windows 10.
Hey there, I see you're facing some tricky issues with Windows 8.1 updates. You've got 74 updates pending, with 70 considered important and 4 optional. Every time you try to install, it works fine until suddenly the process halts with an error saying "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off computer." Your update log shows two failed attempts, specifically Error Codes 8007045B and 80004004. During more recent tries, your computer freezes into a black screen with a cursor only showing when you move the mouse. The only solution that helps is pressing Shift F8 to restore to an earlier version. I've also tried the Windows Update Diagnostic, which claims some issues are fixed, but the problem persists. A SFC scan was run and it reported corrupt files that can't be repaired. You're considering a clean boot or system restore, but I'd love to hear more advice before you proceed. Thanks for reaching out!
It seems they’re running low on Windows 10 licenses, so Microsoft is trying to limit how many people can sign up. They’re trying to slow down reservations to prevent overcommitment. While developers are working hard to produce enough copies for everyone, it’s unrealistic given the global population of around seven billion. If each person wanted a Windows 10 version, manufacturing such a large quantity would take centuries.
