My laptop was gifted to me from my grandma last time she updated the software was 06/29/14.
My question is why is it taking so long to update/is it even updating. The download is almost instant but the installing is whats taking so long. Should I factory reset it or is there something else I can do.
Please help me find a solution.

Are you sure these are HP Updates?
Asking because the last time I went to update a Win7 laptop, Windows Update saddled me with over 200 updates -- and locked up my PC for two full days downloading and installing the updates.

I'm surprised with that -- because I have an HP DV6 laptop and HP has not updated anything for it since 2012, so I don't understand why a laptop that was working in 2014 will NOW be getting updates.
