Final update - turns out it WAS the BCD that was the issue. I managed to make a recovery drive which allowed me to boot into cmd and rebuild the BCD. The update then went ahead without a problem. Thanks for the help either way. Please feel free to close the thread.

Right after the PC Specialist logo.

Its bitdefender.
