Windows 10: Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer’s hardware while...

I have to reset Windows 10 because some error was going on the last few days. I reset windows 10 using cloud install and remove everything I have backed up everything to another disk Everything was going on smoothly until the install windows screen. After the restart, a dialog showed up and it said “Windows Setup cannot configure Windows to run on this device’s hardware.” And then the computer shut down. Then i turned it back on and at the windows logo screen it says “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. Click ok to restart computer, then restart the installation.” I tried to restart and still this screen. What am I gonna do? I have install windows 10 on this laptop many times and this is the first time I encounter this problem.

Windows setup could not configure to run on this computer's hardware

I keep getting "Windows setup could not configure to run on this computer's hardware" message at a bout 42% of the new windows update. How can I get this to work?

Do you have any sort of unusual disk configuration e.g. RAID? (Ok, it's a laptop, but I've not checked its specs!)
Dual or triple boot?

Research suggests:
- the hard disk being a 4K sector size and not a 512 byte sector size.

Older sources (pre Win 10):

• In Notepad, click Open on the File menu, and then browse to %systemroot%\Panther.
  
  Note On a standard installation to drive C, the path is C:\Windows\Panther. (On most PCs this will be the C:\Panther folder)
• Open the file setuperr.log, and look for lines that resemble these:
  
  2010-09-23 17:34:58, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'C:\Windows\System32\scecli.dll,SceSysPrep', returned error code 1208[gle=0x000003e5]
  2010-09-23 17:34:59, Error [0x060435] IBS Callback_Specialize: An error occurred while either deciding if we need to specialize or while specializing; dwRet = 0x4b8
  
  Note If these lines and errors exist, note the errors.
• Open the setupact.log file that is located in the same directory, and then look for the line that resembles the following line:
  
  2010-09-23 17:31:26, Info SYSPRP SPPNP: iaStorV is the function driver for device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_2819103C&REV_02\3&33FD14CA&0&FA
  
  Note If this line exists, it indicates that the drive on which you are trying to install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is configured in a RAID configuration.

I could not find the $Windows.~bt\ folder, I believe I did a clean files from system properties that deleted it. However, I did notice that I DO have IIS enabled (for .net development), which is the incompatibility link you posted. Here is an image from minitool, followed by the IIS programs I have enabled. I'm thinking I should try disabling those, and if I still get the error the dell instructions, and if that doesn't work, check my logs?






Can I just disable the service (IIS Admin Service?), or do I need to remove these as recommended from add/remove windows feature area, then add them back?

Thank again for the help, hope to figure this one out.
