    All Windows 8 updates must be installed or the 8.1 will not.

    Windows update reports that there are no important updates.

    However the windows update from control panel had two optional updates - one on Win 8 Pro and the other on bing bar.

    Will try updating those now.

    Meanwhile, tried a couple of reboots - still failed just about at 50% - and it is very slow to download!

    fingers crossed now on the optional updates..

    When I go to "Windows Update" there are no updates listed. I checked a couple of times and it says I'm up to date.

    I'm on 64 bit professional as well. I installed Windows 7 from CD to my hard drive, and then upgraded to Windows 8 from CD last October.
