I'm running windows update right now. 83 updates are happening right now. (those are just the important ones).

Is visual C++ Redistributable going to be included in those updates, or will I need to install that by itself afterwards?

Thanks

It should be but if it isn't (check Control panel/Programs and features).
It will be listed there.
If its not get it from MS. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Make sure you grab the correct one (86/64).

Once you've installed the updates reboot and run Windows update again. Keep going until there are no more.

With 8.1 you also need to also check the optional updates.

Yup, on the second round of updates right now. Are there any optional updates I should steer clear of?

Is a windows 10 upgrade a good idea?

It's free!
(Don't forget to backup first with something like Acronis Trueimage or macrium reflect ).

Ok! After about 150 installed updates, both important and optional, Sonar installed correctly and runs correctly.

HUGE relief!!!

Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help me get this sorted.
