Windows 10: Upgrade error 0xC1900101-0x2000C

I have made several attempts to upgrade my desktop from 8.1 to 10. Each time the install freezes at the "copying files = 3%" point. When I reboot the system returns to my 8.1 setup and shows the above code with this explanation. "Installation failed in SAFE_OS phase with an error during APPLY_IMAGE operation"

Can anyone tell me what this means and how to resolve the issue?

I have got error 0xC1900101 - 0x2000C while upgrading windows 10 (from win7).

what to do now?

 

windows 10

i am getting error code 0xc1900101-0x2000c when i try to upgrade to windows 10. i have disabled norton and disconnected my back up storage. still getting code?

 

You are doing this from files that were downloaded to this PC and told you it was ready to install the upgrade ?

 

No, doing it from and iso downloaded on a usb stick. I already used the iso to successfully upgrade my laptop.

 

Meaning never received downloaded files from the Get Windows 10 app that appeared in the notification area ? Where did you download this ISO from ? Did you uninstall all third party Anti-Virus or security software prior to upgrade ?

 

These errors can be caused by ,
Incompatibility of hardware or software on the system
ISO that was created is corrupt, Damaged installation source files, need to recreate it
insufficient space on your C drive (system drive), limited space issue for upgrade.
Remove security and system utility software, Anti-Virus, as mentioned


Recreate the ISO, go down to step # 7 here https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...tallation.html

 

I'll give these a try, thanks and report back.

 

Your welcome, let us know.

 

The Get Windows 10 app does not yet allow me to upgrade but will notify me when an upgrade for my PC is available. I've tried all the other suggestion that you made and come up with the same error.
I am now downloading a new iso from this forum link.

Fingers crossed.

 

How long has it been since you received the Windows 10 App and did you agree,reserve it for the upgrade and now your saying it was never ready to do this upgrade, but you proceeded to do it from a ISO ? Do you know if all was ever shown to be compatible with your system to upgrade to Windows 10 then ? Any notifications if you then reserved your upgrade about any system incompatibility ?
Be concerned if anything was incompatible or what exactly is shown for you, to then go ahead and do it this way through the disc.

As i do not know anything about system you are putting it on, no specs in your profile, as it is always best to fill in as much as you can, at least the make and model of PC.

 

I downloaded a new ISO and tried to upgrade again having stripped my Windows 8.1 to bare minimums. The upgrade froze at 3% and gave the same error message. I checked the upgrade app again and it said I could now upgrade so I initiated it through the app. That also failed with the same error message. I tried to download the upgrade through Windows update. That also failed. I am now resigned to stay with 8.1*cry

 

So when you received the app i asked if it ever stated anything being incompatible. Can try the step # 4 way here to

Check your C: Drive through File explorer double click and open it, do you see a folder called $Windows.~BT ?

 

Can you just clarify what you mean by the app? I'm assuming you are referring to the invitation that sits on the task bar, is that correct?

 

Yes in the notification area to the right on the taskbar, usually get this from a Windows update that you install.
