Sounds like a normal Windows 10 Install to me xD 

 

You should probably run sfc/ scannow in terminal (command prompt) to check the windows install and or reset the machines.

yes. if you have less than 16gb free specs on the C drive will cause it to stop updating to the creators update.

This is a error I had when updating Windows 7. It's because it installed so many updates some of them clashed too much. Try installing small amounts of updates at a time (I don't think it is possible on Windows 10 though)...
