    Not familiar with windows 8 but a quick google seems to show they install similarly apart from windows 8 wanting the key at the beginning.
    Did you do a custom install(total start over wipes all old files) or an upgrade install(keeps a copy of old version & moves files onto new install)?
    I would always recommend if you are having problems a custom install start clean but back anything you don't want to loose up on an external hd.As this will get rid of any bad info.
    Don't know if this will help(made before 8.1 update came out) but you can have a look.

    If you had the failure message on an auto update try it manually going thro your File explorer/ Desktop/control panel/syt & sec/windows update, it is likely there are a lot of updates awaiting installation once you have them all updated download the windows 8.1 which is far better than 8 but it took my puter about 3hrs to download this so it is not a quick fix mate gl.
