"Someting went wrong" error for upgrade from Windows 7

[thinksachi]

I clicked on the "View download progress" button and I get the message; "Something went wrong. Please try again later".

I should note that I got an error message earlier when upgrading that said I was getting the "update error 0x80080008". I eventually fixed that using a .bat file I learned from another site but now I'm getting this new error.

Any ideas?
