Upgrade Windows 7 to 10 Error 0x8007001f



The partition layout of disk 0 (shown as disk 1 in Partition Manager) is non standard and was customized by the manufacturer. A normal Win 7 installation will have a layout:

1. 100MB System Reserved, NTFS format and marked as Active
2. C drive.

A normal Windows 10 installation will have:

1. 550MB Reserved partition, NTFS format and marked as Active
2. C drive.

Since you know how to use Minitool Partition Manager. Suggest to use it:

1. Create a bootable installation USB from the Windows ISO using: Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way
2. Delete the 1st 2 partitions (102MB, 15GB) then create a 550MB partition, format as NTFS, label "System Reserved", assign a letter R, mark as Active
3. Move C drive next to the newly created 550MB. should look like the screen shot below, note H: drive should be C: in your case:
   
   
   
4. Boot up the USB created in step 1, on the first screen, press SHIFT+F10 to open the Admin command prompt then type:
   bcdboot C:\Windows /s R: /f BIOS =====> This will create the BCD to boot Windows and store in R: (550MB partition)
5. Reboot the PC then try to upgrade again

NOTE: It is advisable to create a backup image of the whole disk 0, just in case anything goes wrong then you can restore back before making any modification.
To create a backup image Use:
Macrium Reflect Free Edition x64
Macrium Reflect Free Edition x86

 

Repeated Crashes and Boot Errors Apparently Caused by Driver Updates

The chkdsk /f /r report displayed that there were corrections made in the volume bitmap.

Run these commands and post images and then continue with the prior steps:
There was a command for disk 1 but the command for disk 0 seems to have been skipped (steps 24 and 25) for the partition information. These are some additional commands.

1) diskpart
2) list disk
3) select disk 0
4) list volume
5) list partition
6) select partition 1
7) detail partition
8) select partition 2
9) detail partition
10) select partition 3
11) detail partition
12) select partition 4
13) detail partition
14) if there are any other partitions on disk 0 continue in the same fashion
15) exit
16) continue with prior steps
