Code 80073701 - Windows 7 updates failing and Windows 10 fails to install as upgrade

Hi all,

Windows 7 x64 machine with plenty of free disk space. Ran chkdsk and sfc and Windows Update Troubleshooter already, no luck.

Updates fail with code 80073701

The first update that seems to have started failing was KB2952664 - this started more than a year ago. Since then most updates fail but some work.

I ran SUR: here is the log.
