Windows 10: Attempting to update to Win 10 v1903 - Keep receiving error 0x80004005

Good day,

This is James. I have a HP desktop running Windows 10 version 1803 Build 17134.98

I have been trying to update it using the Windows update tool and even via Windows update within Windows to version 1903.

However, I keep getting the error 0x80004005

I am not too familiar with editing the registry etc. do you know how I can fix this?

Thank you
James

Error 0x80004005

I have looked over many other posts about this, all with the same error code, but with a different problem.

I have a computer thats a few years old, it has an ABIT kn8-sli motherboard, and its running off windows XP.

I was having problem with the hard drive before I gave up on it awhile back, and now I have come back and resolved that problem, but now when I get to the login screen and type in the password it says its in need of an update, then when it asks me if I want to update I click Yes, and then it says it won't work due to error 0x80004005.

The only operating system I have currently is windows 7. Do I need to go buy a new OS or is this recoverable?
