update Window 7 Professional

Only updates that include the 64 info in the title of the update are being allowed to successfully update. The code was 6BB, then changed to a #d one, but I didn't get that written down. I've tried the download of the Repair.bat as administrator and that didn't work. I've run

Troubleshooters that have come up and they think they've fixed everything, but still only a few updates can download. This has been true since February. I thought they were downloading as I've re-tried updating previously and eventually the update window will say "no new important updates"--but those still had failed...updater just seems to have given up on them.

Help! I bought this hard drive for $800 last year to replace the one with Vista that was always difficult. That plus the tech's hours make this an expensive mistake. Does anyone know how to fix this without reloading Win 7?

    Attempted the list you gave me but the right click on the mcafee.com link turns up NO McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool...

    Try just clicking on the link using Internet Explorer (ideally). If all is well with your computer, IE11's Download Manager should appear asking if you want to Run or Save the file (i.e., MCPR.EXE). Choose the SAVE option.

    No point in doing any of the other steps if you haven't downloaded the removal tool.

    PA Bear:

    Attempted the list you gave me but the right click on the mcafee.com link turns up NO McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool. There's Kaspersky, Kindle, Firefox, Adobe, etc BUT NO McAfee.

    Please advise--Should I go to the instructions AFTER that and do them? Or does this mean none of the rest of them are relevant?

    Thank you and sorry that one didn't show up!

    Running the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool does not install a McAfee application - it rids your system of the "leftovers" from the Dell-preinstalled McAfee free-trialware.

    Tip: Just run the removal tool.  Ignore any errors and the log it creates.
