Error during migrate data operation - Upgrading Win 7 to 10

Failed in FIRST_BOOT Phase - error during migrate data operation when upgrading to Windows 10 from 7

My win version is Windows 7 Build 7601 Service Pack 1

As the title suggests. I'm attempting to upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 with Media Creation tool.

The actual Error code is: 0x800707E7- 0x3000D "The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation"

It happens when:

• I attempt to upgrade this PC with all apps and files saved through create windows media tool.
• It will restart once and then get to 57% and then restart and says it's Undoing changes made to your computer

Things I have tried:

Removing all unnecessary USB devices (All I have are my mouse and keyboard).

• I have 200GB free
• disabled windows defender
• file scan for corruption
• ran microsoft diagnostic tools
• No registry or corruption errors

I have checked Windows32/Panther/** for anythign in setuperr.log but nothing. I do have logs in setupact.log but I can't make sense of it.

Any help or where to look for crash dumps, error logs to debug this? I'm a dev but I'm not familiar with the windows ecosystem.

I also would rather not do a clean install as I have many games and configuration files set up and I do not want to have to reset them.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks Ken! I'll give that link a swirl and see if I can make progress.

I did find this error log in setupact.log

Code:

On further inspection I found this line on the PS chain

Code:

0-04-16 12:34:47, Warning               SP     User profile suffix mismatch: upgrade asked for "UpdatusUser", actual suffix is: "UpdatusUser.000"

I do have a updatusUser but I don't know why. I will delete and delete the registry values and try again.

Sorry I don't. Another member may.


Do you have any old, dead, not in use users on your machine. Not saying to delete anything just asking are there any?

Hey Ken, I updated my response above. I found some more log files complaining about a "UpdatusUser" I might have made a while ago toying with my system. I'm going to remove the folder under C:\Users and remove the values from my registry Profile list (of course after backing it up :));

Woohoo! That did it! I'm typing on windows 10 atm.

Thanks Ken! Cheers!

I meant, I backed up my registry before deleting my files. Just exporting the registry as a whole .

I did not back up my windows partition/disc before upgrading. I also moved all my game files to my HDD before upgrading just in case I had to do a clean install.

Cheers!
