How frelled is my old laptop? It is stuck in update mode. The screen has said the "do not power down. Installing 1 of 31 updates" for over 8 HOURS!
It's about 5 year old laptop. Compaq single core guy running Win7 home premium. It's USB ports have become less responsive of late, and the processor just spikes with no apps running. I've done security scans, and it's come up clean. It's become rather frustrating.
So is this update thing a death nail in its coffin?

I had that happen with a cheap Acer laptop that I was updating to windows 8.1. It took about 25 hours for the first update, no joke.

Ok, I will leave it spinning while at work.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Of course Microsoft tells you everything except the required first step for those resolution steps, which is to unplug the frelling thing and restart it, so that it won't be frozen anymore and you can actually carry on with the troubleshooting.
