    Windows 10 upgrade failure


    Hi - I had a working PC with Windows 8.1. I set it to download Windows 10 overnight, and the next morning the PC is unresponsive. It seems to have tried to install Windows 10, even though I said only download. Now I can't boot, and get "inaccessible boot device". What is this? I can't even reset back to the "previous build". Help :-(

    :)

    Errors: "0x8024200d", "0xc1420127", "0x80131501" while installing Windows 10 Pro, version 1511.

    Automatic update tried to update Windows 10 so many times with different error codes as below

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586.'

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xc1420127: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

    and so on and so on on on more attempts.

    The latest error is

    "Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80131501: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

    I have tried researching all the internet responses to this problem but no solution works.

    I am really frustrated now and would appreciate some HELP.

    Windows 10 upgrade failure

    I found out that I had to go into the BIOS and set the "SATA Mode Selection" to "IDE Mode". The original "AHCI Mode" does not work with Windows 10. (Windows 10 had also reset the BIOS clock to 2014 - odd).
    Anyway, I'm happy it seems to working now. I've upgraded several machines without issue, so I was a bit worried for a while there Windows 10 upgrade failure :)

    There's two things wrong here - first, AHCI mode is the preferred mode for Windows 10 to operate in, not IDE. Second, Windows will not change the disk controller mode and it will upgrade to whatever mode was set before - if it was set to AHCI mode in the previous Windows, it would stay AHCI mode after the upgrade and work the way it is supposed to. If it was set to IDE mode in the previous Windows, it would stay IDE mode after the upgrade and work the way it is supposed to. Changing the disk controller mode from AHCI to IDE or IDE to AHCI requires Windows to be restarted in safe mode after the change is made in bios, and then restarted in normal mode to pick up the change.

    Also, the upgrade to Windows 10 would not have changed the clock to 2014.

    What I suspect happened is the CMOS battery is weak or dead and the bios reset itself to defaults during an interruption in power and if it were me, I would replace it.

    I would also change the disk controller mode to AHCI. Before changing the setting in bios, the user needs to set the reboot to be into safe mode using MSCONFIG and the user also needs to shut down the computer by holding down the shift key when clicking shutdown from the power icon to ensure the computer shuts down fully and not just in the "fast startup" mode. Then turn on the computer, press the key to enter bios setup, change to AHCI, let it boot into safe mode. Go back to MSCONFIG and set it boot normally then reboot.

    OK - thanks for your comments. Sounds very plausible, so I'll check the battery. If it is the battery, it's incredibly bad luck it died just when I was installing Windows 10.
