Windows 10: Several installation attempts, varied yet unsuccessful results.

I initially upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium, which took 8+ hours to complete. When the installation was done, the performance I was getting was pretty horrible, constant stuttering, latency and slowdown. So I made an install disk from a fresh download and reinstalled from scratch, which I then had to do about six times. Every installation attempt went differently, but each one took 3+ hours and either resulted in an install that performed incredibly poorly like before, or simply failed to complete installation at all. The most common issue I got on the installs that failed was getting stuck in a loop where I would be asked to connect to a network, then I would get a "just a moment" message for about 10 minutes, then a reboot would happen and I would be asked to connect again, get the same message for another 10 minutes, then another reboot.

I initially thought maybe my HDD was going bad, so I swapped it out for a known good one, no fix.

I then replaced my PSU, no fix.

In the end I gave up and rolled back to Windows 7, which installed without issue and works just fine.

Has anyone else had similar issues with similar rigs?

Trying to upgrade from Win 7 Home Pro on desktop to Win 10. Download goes ok. Installation seems to go ok except stops with error code 8007002C-4000D. All attempts to fix are unsuccessful. Download and install several times with the same result. Need some

Windows 10 View Update History

I viewed my Windows Update History, the last successful update is dated September, 14, 2016. My system has attempted to update several times since that date, but I see no further update history past September 14, 2016, neither successful or unsuccessful.
Why does my system keep attempting to update, yet show now history successful or unsuccessful of updates past September 14, 2016?
