Can it take a long time?
I've been waiting for 2 hours now 😓
If you don't have to do any work within 24 hours, you don't need the laptop either.
Yes, very long. I would schedule 10 hours. Windows is a little incompatible with something like that.
Seems to be a somewhat lame box, yes you have to wait there.
An SSD could help.
It's probably Windows
It still takes… Install an SSD… I did it with our laptop, it feels 10 times faster
So when I install Win 10, I'm done in 10 minutes, it always comes down to SSD or HDD, RAM 512MB or one gigabyte or two gigabytes
But this is about updates and not about installations. They go very quickly for me, but updates always take forever. I have 16 GB of RAM and a SSD.
Oh okay, it may have happened to me, it happened to me too, but it should be 10 minutes more if not just press the power button and then check for updates again
Can take a few hours… Depending on how "fast" your HD is.
My recommendation: SSD (have become very cheap) and maybe upgrade RAM
This turns a lame box into an acceptable device 😊
