Windows 10: Error 0xc1900204 SSD and HDD drives

Hi,

I have the identical problem as articulated here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/update-error-0xc1900204-version-1909-ssd-boot/b6710342-514e-4bfa-8a9c-cc9e21807484


But this is locked, and the registry file is no longer available.


I reset the default program dir to C, but the error still occurs - so ALL default drives need to be C?

:)

 

Update Error - 0xc1900204 - Version 1909 - SSD Boot

Hello All,

I'm having problems with Windows Update version 1909, I am getting error code 0xc1900204.

I have performed all the steps as outlined in windows 10 anniversay update Error 0xc1900204 but have had no success.

My current setup:

SSD - Bootdrive (C Drive)

HD - All other files (A Drive)

All content is saved to the A Drive: New Apps, New Documents, Music, Photos, etc.

I am thinking I my not have edited the registry editor option correctly. Per troubleshooting with the registry editor, I changed "ProgramFilesDir" values to C and it still didn't work. Below is a list of over values in the folder, should I redirect all
to C?

 

OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

Hi,

use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

 

Confused about hard drives: HDD and SSD

Browsing through the Microsoft Store for a new pc, I see various hard drives listed, such as:

16GB eMMC

32GB eMMC

500GB 5400 RPM HDD

2GB DDR3L 1600 MHz

32GB SSD [?]

64GB SSD

I understand that solid state drives are good, though expensive. What I don't understand is what size of an SSD would be the equivalent of, say, a terabyte HD? It seems that 64GB is the largest SSD offered here. What size HDD would equal that capacity?

And, BTW, what is an eMMC?
