Impossible to install free Windows 10

I have windows 7 and July I got 10 free windows download.  I was not able to download it.  I get an error:

Windows 10 could not be installed.

failure: 1 update

Error (s) found: C1900101-40017 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

Can someone tell me how can I fix?  Grateful for your help!

"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.

Try to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter first:

http://go.Microsoft.com/?linkid=9830262

If this does not work, try the upgrade manually:

Task of pre-required

When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

then

then

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows on Bootcamp partition

    #1

    Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
    So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
    He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
    Is this a problem?

    I tried Windows Millennium, but even once it froze during installation because of "material conflict". How can I install old windows on this computer.

  • Impossible to install new Windows 7-64 on T3600

    We have a new T3600 of bare metal only supplied with a Free-DOS disk (no DELL drivers CD) and you try to install Windows 7-64.

    The machine has two integrated SAS no RAID disk drives. No PERC card in the system.

    After booting from the W7 DVD, we arrive at the point of installation "install drivers" and are the drivers from the site of support on a USB, but nothing works.

    I tried

    and

    There are drivers for the cards SAS H310 and H710 but I think you said that you did not have one of these cards installed.

    I see a Pre-os iRSTe SAS 32-bit of Windows 7 and Vista separately driver in the list, 64-bit not mentioned.

    And then below that, there is a Pre-os driver Win7 32 and 64 bits for the controller Intel C600 UCS. Maybe this is the rub. It is possible that you may need to install the C600 driver and then click the Refresh button to view the volumes.

    downloads.dell.com/.../RSTe_f6_iaStorS_64_ZPE.exe

    And based on the name of the driver I would bet this is the one you need.

    I would like to give a try to this one (unless it's one you already have).

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows via BootCamp on iMac 5K with Fusion Drive

    Hello

    I tried to install Windows 10 Professional via Boot Camp on my iMac 5K end of 2015 (version OS X 10.11) with a disc of the Fusion 2 to for about a week now. Right now I'm on my 4th or 5th try on Windows 10 installation on the iMac because each installation fails gives me an error that the drive is not formatted correctly or he couldn't find the score even though I have the selected in the list of available drives. I even went up to both to run the commands of the PART of the DISK from the command prompt in the area of troubleshooting Installer Windows 10 to format drive to NTFS instead of FAT32.

    Here are some of the mistakes that I received:

    1 Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. This space of hard disk is formatted with a version not support the NTFS file system.

    2. we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

    I used the Boot Camp configuration application (version 6.0.1) to create a USB key after you download the image ISO from Microsoft. The USB flash drive that creates the installer will start the iMac, but I can't get past the screen "where do you want to install Windows? I tried the merge disk partitioning ways without success, beforehand, because I thought that it could cause a problem. He was left as a full drive 2 TB, or divide the flash part away and seen the almost 2 to rotation and the merger of 128 GB (flash) portion and lucky either.

    I'm full of ideas on what to try... I have loaded Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp several times and have never encountered a problem with Boot Camp with 10 Windows so far.

    Workaround I found that worked for me was to install

    Win7 Pro 64 bit.  Then created just the Bootcamp driver USB key

    (no operating system installer).  Next I went to do the upgrade of Win10 of

    in the environment of Win7.  FWIW, I also chose to not save

    anything (new installation).

    You will need to keep the installation to make sure that you press the Option

    key with multiple reboots (why Windows still insists on this)

    and select the Windows volume to boot from.  Once all the nonsense restarts

    were carried out and finally Windows was running, I plugged it in training camp

    driver USB key, install hardware drivers and everything was good to go.

    Now, it was on an old MacBook Pro, which does not officially have the Bootcamp

    support for WIn10 if the material is quite capable.

    Q: has your subscription expired Norton NEVER
    R: Yes

    Q: has the free trial period pre-installed Norton already expired by the time where you purchased your subscription to Norton OR replaced NIS by Iolo System [Shield]?
    R: Yes

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection! I guaranteed the application of Iolo was NOT installing correctly & does not work properly. See...

    Cleaning a compromised system

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

    NOTE: because you upgraded to Win7 Vista, you will need to do a clean install of Vista. Once you get Vista fully patched & SP1 is installed, you will be able to switch to Win7 again.

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery")... unless you wiped out the hidden partition when you upgraded to Win7.

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    Tip: After completing the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually before connecting any player external to the computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton Removal Tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example,Microsoft Security Essentials -free).

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/threads

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!
