Windows 10: Win7 to Win10 1809 Upgrade fails via LiveUSB

Hi guys - back with a different problem on a different computer now. I guess I have absolutely no luck today...joy of joys.

I'm now upgrading a second PC from Win7 to Win10 1809. I had tried a 1903 LiveUSB, but it failed with the error saying "This PC cannot be upgraded to Windows 10"....which I know is, of course, not true.

SO....I tried to do what I did on the other PC I was working on earlier today, i.e. upgrade it to an older Win10 install (in this case 1809) and then upgrade it to 1903 from there.

The problem is that this PC is failing to even upgrade from Win7 to Win10 1803. It gets pretty much the whole way there, then fails with this error:




I'd read it can sometimes be caused by security software, so I removed the install of AVG Free Antivirus that was on it, but to no avail. I also ran a Chkdsk on it which came up clean, and that has made no difference either.

Anybody have a suggestion as to what I could try next?

Cheers and thanks so much!

Win7 Gateway Computer fails Win10 Upgrade

I am covered under the late Win10 upgrade ending Dec 2017.

I attempted 6 upgrades to Win10 -- all failing - each time trying to address a potential concern.

Win10 Upgrade says that the computer is fully capable for the upgrade and begins downloading the files then moving in the installing process.

The process totally locks up at 75% at which time a reset is applied. The computer restarts and continues to 81% thereby totally locking up again.

The reset - restart at this point goes into Win7 Home recover mode.

One of my attempts was to totally load a fresh version of Win7 from my installation disk and making sure the latest Win7 drivers were being used.

A internet search suggested that this model of Gateway computer was not able to be upgraded to Win10 yet the Win10 upgrade process stated that all was well.

Please note - no anti-virus - no programs - just a fresh Win7 installation.

I did find some Win8 Gateway drivers available but did not load them as I did not know if that would break the Win7 OS.

After one of the Win7 recovery process completed, Windows reported the upgrade failed do to error C1900101-4000D. A Internet search of the error code states it is do to a driver related issue - hence my concentration on drivers.

I would like to upgrade this computer but I have no idea as how to proceed.

Can some direction be provided.

Thanks

 

win10 upgrade fails for Win7 desktop machine

OK, so I'm running Win7 on a desktop, and Microsoft is pestering me to upgrade to Win10. I finally tell them to download the update, and it fails giving me a code. I click on the link to explain the code, and (surprise) the code is not in the list to
be explained. I click on Microsoft FixIt to try to resolve the issue, and it says it couldn't fix the problems. So ... it makes me wonder. The two previous machines I upgraded had NO SUCH problems - one upgraded from Win7 and the other from Win8.

 

Win7 to Win10 upgrade issue ... 0xC1900101-0x30017 and then 0x40017

hi, Andre,

yes, i think my note did say that i already created the bootable ISO on a DVD and started the Win10 upgrade from there. i already contacted the vendor and he gave me a list of Win10 drivers, suggested the bootable ISO upgrade method but did not recommend
a new BIOS update.

My PC is a ZOTAC CI320none with an Intel processor running a licensed Win7 Home Premium SP1.
