Windows 10: Inplace upgrade from Win 7

Has anybody had difficulty upgrading to 10 1809? I have been working an MDT task sequence (from SCCM) and I have had a really difficult time upgrading to it. There’s been many installs that go about 90% through and then rollback. For some reason 1709 has a much better success rate. But the business is being stubborn and insists on 1809 right out the gate. Been testing a step to just upgrade a second time after the successful upgrade to 1709 but it seems to fail/skip the 1809 step. Good day.

Recommend hardware changes for upgrading from Win-7 to Win-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
