Windows 10: Windows 8 to10, error code: 0x8007042B - 0x2000D. The installation failed in the SAFE_OS...

When trying to upgrade my Inspiron laptop from Windows 8 to10, I receive this error code: 0x8007042B - 0x2000D. The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation. I've tried all troubleshooting methods I can think of. I cannot find this error code or message on the Microsoft website.

Okay... after trying mrgeek's suggestion it is time to upgrade your backup software.

You can pick your own imaging tool however I recommend Macrium Reflect. Free and widely used on forum. There are others which are also used and recommended on forum.

Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect

Your first reaction will be this is over my head. It isn't. The tutorial is long for completeness. It basically works using defaults. Creating the Rescue Boot media is essential including the testing.

Even with the above unfortunately we haven't address your reason for raising the thread.

Please find these two logs and posts. Maybe someone on the thread will be able to decode.

Wow a lot to unpack here.

What software are you using for System Images?

What security software are you using that would interfere with backups?

When doing a disk cleanup I would check delete everything.

Yes, people have had limited success with Setupdiag.

Bobkn answered the 8GB USB Thumbdrive.

The only thing I would add is the the USB Thumbrive must be at least 8GB. Can be bigger, can't be smaller. I saw 16GB Usb Thumdrives being offered for $5.00 CDN.
