Windows 10: Windows 10 Upgrade C1900101-20017 Error

So I've been trying to update my PC to Windows 10 and keep getting this error!!!
First I'll give you specifics about my PC.
Alienware Aurora R4, came with an AMD R9270 GPU and I changed to a GTX 980. It came with one HardDrive which I replaced with an SSD and moved OS to SSD and important programs, but all files and other programs are stored on the old drive which is now E. I also have a B drive for expansion (videos etc.) i7 processor. 16GB RAM.
So I tried the Windows 10 upgrade via Windows Update. It downloads fine, PC says configuring for Windows 10 update, then reboots back to Windows 8.1 and gives me error C1900101-20017. Tried again multiple times and got same error.
Then I tried with Media Creation tool. I tried where it installs onto PC without USB or DVD and it got stuck at 37% then just said Installation failed, with no errors or anything. Tried again and same thing.
So then I try the upgrade using a USB. Goes through to the thing where it asks me for key. Press skip. Choose to upgrade, then PC gives me the same error as before but with 0x infornt of it. It said:
We couldn't install Windows 10
We've set your PC back to the way it was just before you started installing Windows 10.
0xC1900101 - 0x20017
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation

So I've tried all the usual stuff (unplug everything, turn off secure boot, disable services, troubleshooting, fixit, delete SoftwareDistribution etc.) so any help would be SO MUCH APPRECIATED! THANK YOU GUYS!!!

:)

Just to add, I also found this Hope it helps

 

I also moved OS to ssd but I suppose this might address other hardware changes. The error I got was 1900101-20017 and also "installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation". I tried Windows Update, Media Creation Tool and almost everything suggested on different forums but nothing worked.
What I did to successfully upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10:
1. Retrieve Windows 8.1 product key (in my case Windows 8.1 OEM version).
I used Product Key Viewer Windows 9 Product Key Viewer Download - Softpedia
Skip this step if you already have it.
2. Deactivate Windows:
Press Windows key + X
Click Command Prompt (Admin) and type: slmgr.vbs -upk and hit Enter key
3.Re-Activate Windows using your product key.
Restart upgrade, mine worked this time.
Please confirm everyone if this is working for you.

 

Ok I'm just about to try the update after deactivating and activating windows *Biggrin For your harddrive setup, how many did you have and what did you use each one for? Which ones did you leave in during the upgrade?

 

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

Boot from the Windows 10 installation media and then perform automatic repair and check if it helps.

Follow the steps to perform Automatic repair: a. Insert installation media and restart the computer.
b. Select language and click on Next.
c. Select Repair your Computer and click on Skip this drive.
d. Select Troubleshoot and click on Advanced Options.
e. Here choose the option Automatic Repair and follow the prompted instructions.

To create a media for Windows 10 follow the link:

Download Windows 10

Hope this may help you

 

Ok I tried that and it said it couldn't repair pc and left a log file on my D drive which is my DVD player?!

 

It's a cheap laptop, so I'm using one ssd only.
I previously cloned my original Toshiba HDD to this ssd using Paragon Migrate OS to SSD in order to keep the original hdd structure and to keep the product key that is stored in the UEFI bios. Windows stayed activated as planned.
I am quite sure that if I used the original HDD for the upgrade instead everything would have worked out without any issues.

 

Hm well thats interesting. Exact same software I used so I think we are getting closer to the cause...

 

I'm starting to think that a factory reset may be the only way forward...

 

Some one on another forum recommended Macrium Reflect read up on it and that is the one I will be using as I have an external hard drive on usb out of an old laptop formatted already

 

I tried this with my HP Pavilion running windows 8.1 on an SSD Drive. I still get the same error message.

 

I keep getting this error message, I don't have installation media as per the attached comment, what would I do to try and correct this please?

 

I had this same problem since 29th July. Windows 7 just would not upgrade to 10 (Home) - c1900101-20017 every single time.
I tried nearly everything suggested by so-called 'experts' in forums and also stressed-out, underpaid Microsoft support types. I ended up rebuilding the PC from scratch after following some spurious advice about powering off before the 1st reboot. Nobody really knew what the problem was - still don't really. After about a dozen or so attempts to upgrade, I saw a Youtube by an Eastern European guy who had a similar MoBo to mine. He updated the BIOS to the latest version, then SET THE BIOS TO OPTIMUM DEFAULTS (F5) which disables any overclocking settings among other things. I figured that it couldn't hurt to try the upgrade one more time with the BIOS defaults...
To my astonishment, the upgrade proceeded without a hitch.
So before you uninstall anything, disconnect any peripherals or change your precious world even one little bit, please try this simple thing. No harm can come from it, unlike a lot of the so-called advice that is floating around.
Dear Microsoft: surely you knew about this? Not everyone needs an overclocked CPU - most users don't even know what I mean by that. Come on guys, tell us these things!

Finally Satisfied
