  1. We couldn't install Windows 11


    I am trying, unsuccessfully, to upgrade my Windows 10 for Workstations to Windows 11 for Workstations and this is the message I get over and over:"0xC1900101 - 0x20017, The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation."I have read many articles on the internet and YouTube and they all seem to get back to "You need to update your drivers." Now, I don't know which drivers are out of date. The last time I used a driver updater software I had horrible results on my computer to the point I had to Reset my computer. Now, in part I blame myself because I did not cre

  3. "We couldn`t create a new partition or locate an existing one."

    Try this:

    Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.

    Run diskpart.
    At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:

    list disk

    At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than "0" in the next command.

    select disk 0
    clean
    exit (to exit from diskpart)
    exit (to exit from the command prompt)

    That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as "Unallocated Space" as in the screenshot below.

    We couldn't install Windows 11

    Update KB4550961 couldn´t be installed

    Hi! I´ve tried hard to install KB 4550961 unsuccessfully. Even run this or that in order to correct whatever the problem might be.

    However, after restart it appears “Updates couldn’t be installed” on the screen. Running Scannow and Restorehealth as Administrator didn´t
    work either.

    I´ve also gone step by step thru “Fix Windows Update errors” steps 1 to 5. I´m reluctant to follow Step 6 Reset or Reinstall Windows –
    Refresh is not included - because I´m afraid I might loss some stuff important, though I created a restoration point and a USB recovery drive, just in case.
