    I have been using Windows Installation Assistant to install Windows 11 on a machine currently running Windows 10. The assistant tells me thet the PC meets the minimum spec and proceeds with the install. The installation gets through step 3: Installing and gets to the update check. Finally I get a message that Setup has encountered a critical error with the error code 0x80070003 - 0x40008

    Error Message when updating from Win-7 to Won-10

    Bree
    I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

    Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

    I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
    Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
    Thanks for any help

    Problem to access a win 10 pc from a win 11 pc on my network

    Hello,

    Thank's for answer. As mentionned in my post, I can see win 10 pc on the network from my win 11 pc. The problem comes when I click on win 10 pc, I get the error message : windows cannot access //pc-xxxx. (see the picture I have included)

    All the parameters you suggest to me are set correctly.

    From win 10 pc I see the win 11 pc and can access his share files.

    Thank's

    I have been unable to upgrade my PC from Win 10 to Win 11. I receive an error message...

    Upgrade Win 10 to Win 11 failed

    Have PC with 4 partition managed by EasyBCD,

    1. Boot partition (500M, active partition)

    2. Win 7 (140G)

    3. Win 10 (120G, my production machine, boot by default)

    4. Win 7 (140G, play partition)

    Recently try to upgrade partition 3 to Win 11. Upgrade steps seem to work smoothly until it reach 100%.

    Then I get message "PC will restart in few moments"

    Then I get "Win11 installation has failed"

    I check the srttraic.txt file and found the folloing:

    "Root cause found: No OS files found on disk

    Repair action: Partition table repair

    Result: Failed error code 0X20"

    However, I seem to have no problem to boot my Win10 without error even the installation has failed.

    Some trouble shooting from my side.

    1. I am able to boot Win 7 or Win 7 (play partition) if I use a disk manager to set these partition to active.

    2. I am not able to do so if I set Win 10 partition as active, I have to set the 500M boot partition and select Win 10 from boot menu.

    3. I boot Win 10 installation disk from USB and try to repair my Win10 partition, but repair failed.

    4. I backup the whole disk, set Win 7 partition as active, I can upgrade this partition from Win 7 to Win 10 and to Win 11.

    5. Si I believe my PC hardware is no problem to support Win 11.

    How can I recover my Win 10 partition without loosing my application so It can be boot without the boot partition?
