okay, so I fixed it by running the set-up in safe mode. It took less than an hour, maybe even 30 minutes in safe mode to install.

I also ran a windows update (wow, it's important to run those updates, it's working a little better now. It's not slow anymore after updating)

Now, all I'm getting is an "HPUpdate.exe has stopped working" error every time I start up.
