Brand New HP Elite 800 i7700 8GB 512GB SSD Win10 1709 failure.
Help!
Brand new (received this week) computer for my parents with nothing else installed and Win10 update has serious issues. Horribly slow to download 1709. Then it fails to install.
HP Elite 800 i7700T 2.90 GHz 8GB 512GB SSD
Monitor keyboard & mouse only hardware attached
NO additional software installed.
Win10 Pro x64
Fios interweb connection
Hooked it up and seemed ok. Before doing anything else, went to update Win10
1709 "Feature update" took over a day to download. It would sit for hours at a fixed "downloading update" percentages.
Finally finished downloading this AM.
The installation failed.
Grrrrr.
Now we're trying again to download and it's been stuck at 18% for over an hour.
Internet still works, but not as snappy as it was. Yesterday during update attempt #1, it was taking minutes for pages to load (like Googles home page)
Before proceeding beyond trying anything besides download attempt #2, is there a consensus on how to proceed?
Should I terminate the 1709 download attempt and, if so, is there a way to stop Win 10 from automatically doing it?
Want to get the most stable system before proceeding with installing any software.
Much obliged.
