Windows 10 Feature update 1709 keeps failing to install

I had similar troubles when upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 but managed to get through it by removing all usb peripherals except keyboard and mouse.

I recently upgraded my motherboard, ram, cpu and graphics card. I was online with Microsoft for an hour fixing the activation and proving my everything was legitimate.

I have tried the the MediaCreationTool, downloaded and succesfully made the install DVD (no to updates, Windows 10 Home).

The DVD install ran and the update/install failed with this really informative error message:

When I clicked OK I could see that setup was at 45% done and then it all rolled back.

After the rollback and logging in again the DVD setup gave me a more informative error message.


Since there are no peripherals attached I searched and found the SFC and DISM suggestions. Here is their results:

Both show no errors or corrective actions.

I checked the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources log files for both Panther and Rollback folders. They are attached here.

I'm a bit stumped at this point.

Following Microsofts troubleshooting tips I've found the issue is related to a driver but I'm not sure which one.
See error code "0xC1900101 - 0x30018" on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...lyze-log-files

How do I figure out which driver is responsible?

Don`t use the MCT to create a dvd installer.

Just download the Iso file, check its size and use this simple program to burn the Iso to DVD, make sure you burn it at the slowest possible speed given by the program, after you insert the blank dvd. (very important, if not you could end up with a corrupt installer)

The 64 Bit Iso of W10 Fall Creators Update is 3,720,192 KB

As far as Activation goes, you are installing W10 on a new MB (new Hardware) so technically you should buy a new key. But they say you can link your Microsoft Account to activate W10.

There are problems (multiple) with operating system, registry, partition free space, hardware, drivers, firmware, and/or applications that are preventing the upgrade. Collecting these computer files may improve the troubleshooting:

It should collect: msinfo32, dxdiag, drivers, hosts, install, uninstall, startup, mini dumps, services, event log files, etc.

If you are planning to change drives you can
1) make a backup image with Macrium:

2) restore the image onto the new drive
3) consider switching from MBR to GPT
4) consider switching from Legacy to UEFI

I am not sure how you get Windows running with a dynamic disk. Windows 10 won't allow installation using Dynamic disk. I guess you converted after Windows Installation.

So, Your problem is you have windows running on a dynamic disk. Convert it back to Basic disk using:
https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
In addition, The system reserved partition is 100MB, too small and when trying to upgrade, Windows will try to create an extra Recovery Partition and wouldn't know what to do with Dynamic disk.

After conversion, you might as well increase the System Reserved partition to 550MB (standard for Windows 10.1709)
before doing upgrade.
