Greetings! I had the laptop I had to rebuild from the "Rescue" disk. It was at a version on which Windows Update appeared to fail. I received 7 replies, two of which were wonderful!
This site: http://wu.krelay.de/en/ had a nice matrix of KB's to upload in which order, as well as links to both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions. Those all applied in less than 10 minutes. Windows Update took about a day-and-a-half to download and apply about 300 patches (many of which required other updates earlier). Now feeling far more protected, link to the MS Media Creator Tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-gb%2Fsoftware-download%2Fwindows10&data=02%7C01%7CRichard.McClary%40aspca.org%7C9eddac5ab0834ccad76f08d49bc2096d%7Cfcf2ac976f3c48da912a7a446e6b4f54%7C0%7C0%7C636304705063215151&sdata=%2BbnQMzN0bhKbWpuxa%2BCGnLlUz2Py9rfx9xC8OvM%2FiGc%3D&reserved=0> had Windows 10 up and running in perhaps a half-hour. So, I now have a functional (and hopefully up-to-date) Win 10 laptop for doing bill work, etc in my kitchen.
