What I would do is first try backing up the driver store.

navigate to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore then make a backup copy of the FileRepository folder.

After doing that, proceed to perform a clean install:

Go to a working computer, download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install.

Once your computer is set to boot from the DVD, you should see this option. If you are installing from a retail Windows 10 USB thumb drive, you will be asked to select either 32 or 64 bit Windows 10. Learn more here https://www.groovypost.com/howto/choose-windows...

The Windows logo will appear on screen, this might be here for a while, as long as you see the animating dots, everything should be ok.

Select your Language, Time and Keyboard method then click Next.

Click Install now

Windows 10 setup will prompt you for a product key during installation a couple times. If you originally upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 click the option 'I don't have a key' and 'Do this later' . If you have a Windows 10 product key, you can proceed to enter it.

Setup will also prompt you to select the edition you have a license for - Home or Pro. Please make sure you choose the right edition. If you choose the wrong edition, your only option will be to perform a clean install again.

The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core should install Windows 10 Home 



Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro should install Windows 10 Pro

Wait while setup prepares to copy files

Accept the license terms then click Next

Click Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)

NOTE: Sometimes Windows 10 setup can become confused if it see's a thumb drive. You might get a driver missing error or something to that effect. If you do, restart setup, but this time, when you arrive at the following screen, disconnect your thumb drive then go through Custom options. When setup is ready copy files, it will prompt you to reconnect the installation source (your USB).

Select the drive then click New

NOTE: If you have multiple partitions listed, select each one (starting at the bottom), then click delete until there is only a single (one) unallocated drive displayed in the window.

Select the unallocated drive listed, click New, click Apply then OK

This will split the drive into multiple partitions, select the Primary partition then click Next.

NOTE: The System Reserved partition is where recovery files are kept for diagnostics and repairing damaged Windows 10 files; or even reinstall Windows 10.

Wait while Windows installs

When this phase of setup is complete, Windows will automatically restart then reboot into setup again.

Windows is detecting and installing your hardware. After this is complete, Windows will restart one last time.

Hello, Fortunate Ra

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Hello, thank you for your feedback on your issue here, it seems that you want to update your win10 system.

Generally there are some steps below to update:

Method 1: Using Windows Update

Check network connection: make sure your laptop is connected to the internet.

Open Settings:

Click on the Start Menu (Windows icon in the bottom left corner of the screen).

Then click on Settings (gear icon).

Go to Update & Security:

In the Settings window, click on Update & Security.

Check for updates:

Under the Windows Update tab, click the Check for Updates button.

Windows will start searching for available updates. If it finds an update, it will download it automatically.

Install the update:

Once the download is complete, Windows will either begin installing the update immediately or prompt you to restart your computer. If you are prompted to restart, click Restart Now to complete the update.

Wait for the update to complete:

Windows will perform the installation process and your computer will restart a few times. Depending on the size of the update, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.

Verify that the update is complete:

Once the update is complete, go back to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to see if there are additional updates. If it says “Your device is up to date”, then the update is complete.

Method 2: Use HP Support Assistant (for HP laptops)

HP laptops usually come with a pre-installed application called HP Support Assistant, which can help you keep your system up-to-date, including HP drivers and software updates.

Open HP Support Assistant:

Type HP Support Assistant in the Windows search bar and select the app.

Check for updates:

In the HP Support Assistant app, click the **"Updates ”** tab.

It will automatically check for available updates, including Windows updates and HP-specific software updates.

Install updates:

If there are available updates, click Install to start the installation process, following the on-screen instructions.

Reboot the computer:

After the update installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your computer.

Method 3: Use the Media Creation Tool (for major updates or upgrades)

If you want to upgrade to a new Windows 10 version, you can use the Media Creation Tool.

Let’s try performing an in-place install or in-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications. That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides: How to perform an In-place Upgrade with Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide - Microsoft Community

Also need to pay attention to the following:

Back up your data: Before any update, it's a good idea to back up your important files just in case.

Ensure adequate power: Make sure your laptop is connected to a power source in case the update process is interrupted.

If you are facing issues while updating, you can share some error messages or tips here and I will support you further.
