windows update not working need help

Hello darkparagon, checking for Vista updates often takes as much as 40 minutes these days. As best we can figure, this is because Microsoft's servers are busy with Windows 10 upgrades, and not something that users can fix. If you have just reinstalled Vista, then you have a long road ahead. (Patch Tuesday will probably be next week, so there is not much to check for right now if your Vista installation is current.) The link you posted suggests that you want to upgrade to Windows 7. I'm pretty sure you would have to purchase a disc in order to do that. [Edit] On second thought, it looks like you downloaded something that requires Windows 7 SP1, so why are you posting at Vista Forums?
