        @tobas you may have to re flash your SD card

          are you doing updates as root?

          I have seen both the Pi and other linux machines give a 403 error when you try to do something that requires root access

            @drakaen391 I'm not sure, it looks like regular command line to me. does SSH have anything to do with it?

              nope... but updates must be done as root...

              That means you must put "sudo" before the command

                so, for example, if I wanted to update Retropie, I'd write

                sudo update?

                  @tobas you would put

                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get upgrade
                  

                  the first will make sure the lists are up to date (should always be done before install or updates)

                  The next line is to update any outdated file including retropie

                    @drakaen391 could I download the image, transfer it over through my network connection and install it over my existing image?

                      @tobas nope, the new image is a full overhaul and requires a fresh install.

                      If you upgrade to 4.4 you would need to start very fresh

                        also, unlike a PC, the bios and other items for the Pi to run, is on the SD card... so its not possible to install fresh images like you would on a PC

                            @tobas No, you could transfer those over to your PC or on an USB stick, then transfer them back on the new system.

                                    @drakaen391 I'm sorry I'm such a noob, but if I do the sudo apt-get upgrade, will that overwrite my entire SD card? or just update retropie?
