After a couple of hours waiting for the update to complete I ended up with the dreaded and now familiar modern host setup error. In agree this is hard one to resolve. I have successfully updated an older machine - a Dell laptop. Searching for ideas before I came across a post about incompatible msvcrt.dll files. The suggestion was to replace an incompatible msvcrt.dll with a successful one. Could I try using the version on the laptop on this difficult PC or would that risk problems? Anyway thanks again for your help. Rod

Assuming uninstalling your AV still doesn't work, there are only a couple other options that I can recommend. The first would be for you to uninstall Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. Instructions at the link below. Once it's uninstalled, then try the update to Windows 10. How to uninstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

I'll uninstall SP1 and cross my fingers. If it doesn't work after that I'll call it a day I think. I'm going to look at a major upgrade and a fresh windows installation anyway

It seems to be going from bad to worse. I've uninstalled my AV and firewall and that's not the problem. Can't think what is happening as I can't get my system back to its Win 7 with SP1 state even

It was about to restart when the message came that the update had failed. Ive decided to leave it at that and go back to Windows 7. I've begun reinstalling all updates and the AV as I'm running out of time and need to use the computer as is. I've decided it's time to upgrade the hardware so will start a new build after Christmas with Win 10 installed on an SSD. By the way, when I repaired with my Win 7 disk it wouldn't accept the ID. I had to phone up. Perhaps the problem is with my version being a student upgrade Win 7 disk. Thanks for your all help
