I just installed a 2 TB hard drive and needed to complete a windows update. The update downloaded but failed to properly install and ended up reverting back to the previous version. The drive was correctly formatted. This has happened to me before and had to do a clean install. The error code is 0x800700c1. I dont understand what the issue might be so any help would be appreciated.
Failed windows update after hard drive install.

Is windows 10 on the 2tb? or is it just a storage drive?

once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

SFC fixes system files, DISM cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
