I am currently living in an area with such slow broadband speeds that my desktop attempts to download Windows 8.1 (reaching approximately 55%) and then resetting the download. I have no idea if this is timing out. I have been looking for a legitimate ISO download for 8.1, but I have to be honest, I don't really know where to find it.

I keep getting failure messages such as the ones below (unfortunately there's plenty more) due to Windows Update failures. I would love any help as to figuring out some of them! As a side note, I noticed an issue with MSN, but can't pinpoint what exactly the issue was. I apologize in advance for any and all vagueness.
