Windows 10: Pc boots into win 10 with error message, then after deleting message boots into win 11....

See question

:)

 

Win 10 boots...

I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

 

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

 

Win 10 Boot Error

The computer is a personal desktop assembled by myself over 6 years ago.

ASUS M2NSLI Deluxe motherboard, (Not using the SLI option - only 1 video card GE Force 9600 GT)

AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.61 GHz

4 GB RAM, 64 Bit OS

Error message on boot:

Windows failed to start. Recent hardware or software changes might be the cause. To fix the cause, insert the Windows Installation Disk and re-boot. Choose language settings, click next. Click Repair.

If you don't have the cd containing the system, contact administration or the computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc0000f

Information: The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

That's the end of the error message.

I inserted the WIN 10 DVD and booted from DVD, selected the languages, clicked Repair.

Four Options appeared:

1. Go to WIN 10

2. Boot from other OS (Have WIN 7 on a peripheral disk)

3 Troubleshoot (No resolution when I selected this option)

4. Shut down

From here, I select 1 and go to WIN 10. The machine re-boots (not from DVD) and WIN 10 starts after a while (This apparently skipped the error message and the bad file)

Both the PC and WIN 10 function.

Hope this helps.
