At this time I am not recommending that users install the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 update. I generally advise waiting 30-90 days after a service pack is released before installing so as to avoid any early bugs in the update that may cause major problems with your system.
If you wish to proceed anything, here are some useful links and info to make sure you're prepared for the update before you run it.
Windows 7 SP1 Update Fails to Install
The quickest and easiest repair option is the Windows Update Troubleshooter. Open Control Panel, click in the search box, and type troubleshoot. Click the Troubleshooting link at the top of the search results, then click System and Security, and finally click Windows Update. The troubleshooter runs quickly. On my system, which had no noticeable issues with recent updates, it detected a minor problem and fixed it.

The entire process took less than 90 seconds and did not require a reboot.
If you're experiencing Windows Update errors and that troubleshooter doesn't work, haul out the big guns: the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7. According to a Microsoft support document published just a few days ago:
This tool is being offered because an inconsistency was found in the Windows servicing store which may prevent the successful installation of future updates, service packs, and software. This tool checks your computer for such inconsistencies and tries to resolve issues if found.
If you're unable to apply the Service Pack 1 update to Windows 7, consider downloading and running this utility. Choose the version that applies to your installation:
