If KB3003743 installs correctly then repeat the dism step from post #23
 
Also the security updates installed successfully now! Seems like things are fixed now.
Thank you a lot for all the aid! Must have been hard work to fix all of those errors. There was thousands of them after all.
So can't thank you enough!
 
Good.

Do you intend to upgrade to Windows 10 now that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft?
 
Not on this PC. It's 10 years old so probably wouldn't run too well anyways.
However I am going to build up a new PC soon. So I do wonder if I can use OEM win7 key to activate win10 on new PC?
 
No, OEM key is bound to the machine hardware only Windows 7 Retail key can be transferred...

For old hardware and depending on what the machine is used for, installing Linux maybe a better option...
 
Ah that's a bummer.
Linux is a bit too hardcore for me. Specially since I currently use the PC for gaming. Although I plan to give it to my mom once I upgrade.

But thanks for all the help! Good luck for the future problem solving. ;)
