Trying to upgrade, but keep getting BSOD

[Jerjef]

I'm trying to upgrade a Lenovo U410 to Windows 10, but I keep receiving this error:
0xC1900101 - 0x40017.

Any ideas as to what this may be?

Suggestions only :

1. Uninstall your anti-virus program and then try to do the upgrade again. You can always reinstall the AV afterwards. Do you happen to have Avast ?

2. If you are presently running Win 8.1, go to Change PC settings > Update and Recovery > Recovery >Advanced startup > Troubleshoot > Reset your PC, run the Reset. Then try upgrading. Caution, backup four files before Reset.
P.S. I don't have Win 8.1 anymore. So steps mentioned above is by memory. I could have missed a step or 2.

No I'm just using Windows Defender.

Thank you.

Would you care to do the reset option, you are indeed using Win 8.1 ?

Hmmm, that may be a bit more invasive then I was planning. It is Win 8.1 though.

Well try this way.........

1. Download the media Creation Toll. Make sure you pick the correct bit version.

2. Run the Tool.
Select Create installation media for another PC option. That creates a Win 10 ISO.
You can burn the iso to a bootable media later. For this method, it is not required.

3. Right click at the ISO > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
Installation will begin.
This method allows you to keep your files, settings and apps (most of them.)
This method does not require product key.
Activation is automatic.


I used the same method to install my 2 laptops.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for your help.
