I have a lenovo 32-bit Operating system which is running Windows Home basic.
This computer is a few years old but we just started using it. I am trying to
update the system but none of the updates are successful. I am able to
download the updates but not able to install. There were 54+ updates trying
to install and it got stuck on #2 lasting 10+ hours. Help?

Right-click on My Computer & select Properties: What Windows version is
displayed in the resulting General tab (e.g., Windows Vista Home Basic
Service Pack 1)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
