 Ok I completely forgot that there was a new Hard Drive that DR M set up for me.

  It is now in the computer and spent the morning doing updates. The only strange thing is that on the update page just above CHECK FOR UPDATES it says-

  "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."

   This is in red letters and has me stumped.

 Under Virus & threat protection every option is turned on including REAL TIME PROTECTION.
I did find that MEMORY INTEGRITY can't be turned on it said something about drivers?
  Restarted the computer and the "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes." is still there.

 That says it will reinstall windows 10.
 Is that what you want me to do?

 Searching the web they say find "Get up and running". Can NOT find it.

  I have been at this all day; Microsoft hates me.

I searched the page for reinstall and no place on the How-to Geek page I linked says to reinstall Windows 10.  Did you download and run the Windows Update Assistant and follow the other instructions in the article?

  This is the page "Windows Update Assistant" takes me to every time.

I get the same thing as Ron when I click on download the tool. It wants to download Windows 10.

For Windows 11, go here instead

 Thanks, Plodr but MS says this computer will not support windows 11.

 Thanks to everyones help Updates are now up to date and the  "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes." is gone.

   Just needed the threat of replacement to straighten it out.
