Re: 2011 E09 Restore Key: Win Update not working
I think you may misunderstand me. We were able to install Win 7 off the USB key via F11, boot off key but once Win 7 was installed and up and running, I tried to use "Windows Update" to download all the (security related) patches. It was at that point a message said Windows Update service was not running but the service was running. So I don't know if I have a damaged install and I am not too happy about not being able to update Win 7 with the current updates.

We have a bit of time as I am pretty certain the driver station stuff will work and if it doesn't, I can install it on an alternative laptop. Hopefully First will come up with a solution for the 2012 USB key problem (that is not based on using my suspect 2011 install).
