I am going to assume that Louise “did everything” in Andre’s forum post and then dropped, exhausted. Just one of the steps is: "Perform the following tasks: 12 Things You Should Do Before Installing Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1709)" Try the Media Creation Tool The very first answer, provided by Andre Da Costa, forum moderator and a Microsoft Valued Partner (MVP) is complex and tedious. The very first Google search result on the error 0X80248007 message Louise received, “Microsoft can't install important security updates on your PC until you install the most current version of Windows 10,” is this Microsoft Answers forum post. What version of Windows (10, 8.1, 7, XP, etc.) is installed currently.The make and model of the PC, e.g., Acer (maker) Aspire 7560G (model).(See What's Going On Inside My PC?.) Such critical info would include: I have recommended several free programs that can capture such info for you and put it in a text log file that can be sent as an attachment to the email requesting help. When asking for tech support, you should always include all information available about your computing environment. So Louise would not have written to me before the year 9595 if she had truly tried everything that she could find on the Internet! I'm not criticizing Louise I'm just pointing out that it can be hard to find tech answers that are accurate, complete, relevant, and up-to-date. The amount of wrong advice on the Internet divided by the amount of correct advice equals infinity. Louise also said she “tried Windows troubleshooter & everything else the Internet said to try.” I'm sure Louise tried hard to find a solution before contacting me, but I'm 100% certain that she didn't try "everything." Here's why. Along with that cryptic error message, you should see this slightly more intelligible text: "Microsoft can't install important security updates on your PC until you install the most current version of Windows 10."

Perhaps, like Louise, you've encountered Error 0X80248007 when Windows 10 tries to update.
