Hello Dear Bird,

Dear it seems that you have not such profile of hardware that Windows 7 requires to be installed on.

This is a latest version of windows that Microsoft Company has produced.

You should have the minimum RAM capacity of 1 GB to install and run windows 7 properly on your computer.

The CPU should also have the compatibility running with Windows 7.

And you have to get a DVD Rom to install windows 7 because it is only available on DVD not on CD.

After making sure these things try to update again. Then it will run.

Thanks
