The most common reasons responsible for getting the windows update errors 0x80080008 and 0x800705b4 is the antivirus mostly third-party e.g Avast, AVG, Norton etc. Most people who had this problem confirmed that disabling the third-party antivirus on their computer solves the problem of removing the errors. This should always be the first solution if it doesn’t work move to the next solutions.

Next type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth /. The process takes some time to complete.

Microsoft gave a free upgrade to all windows 7 users offer which ended four years ago. Whoever, to this date, Microsoft’s free upgrade tools is still working in installing Windows 10 on an old PC that runs Windows 7 or later Windows 8 without the need of the product key for activation.
Before making the upgrade, first check the minimum hardware requirement needed to confirm whether it can handle windows 10 OS and make a complete backup of the OS just in case you need to rollback. Make sure you are running the latest version of your current windows 7 operating system in this case, Windows 7 Service Pack 1. In case you don’t have one find it online at the Microsoft site. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx
Also uninstall any software that might not be compatible with windows 10 to avoid upgrade errors, these include antivirus, Office, and any other old programs that may bring issues while you are upgrading to Windows 10. Disconnect hardware peripherals connected to the PC such as USB drives, printer, mouse, camera, keyboard, external hard drive to avoid problems.

Many factors contributes to your Enter button not working. It might be due to a malfunctioning key that needs to be replaced or missing system configurations. Otherwise try these options to see if it works:
- First obvious Restart the PC

Since you have already identified the problem being a virus attack I suggest you just back up your personal data i.e documents, music, movies, etc.. and proceed with the clean install. Make sure you synchronize your settings, bookmarks, cookies and passwords if you still need them so that you can restore immediately after installation is complete.
After installation update your windows security and scan your data before copying back to your PC to avoid the spread of the virus.
