Windows 10 update fail, error 0x800700003 - 0x2000d
I'm trying to upgrade from Windows 7 (Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601) to Windows 10 using the media creation tool 1909 but each time I try I get the error 0x800700003 - 0x2000d the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation.
I googled the problem and tried a few suggested solutions but nothing has worked so far. I tried to create a new user which was one suggestion, that did not work. I tried to also to reinstall a clean version of Windows 7 ( I have Windows 7 Home Premium disc) and when I do so I get a different error, 0x80070017, again I tried googling the problem but didn't find the solution.
Tried using the WindowsUpdate.diagcab file to fix the problem, this also didn't work.
Fwiw I get to the stage it asks what I want to keep, I choose to keep all files. At the next stage it reaches 100%, it then restarts the machine and reaches 28% of the update, then it stops working and reverts back to the old machine.
I am able to install the update without keeping any files if that would fix the problem but concerned I may have problems if I choose to do that then it also doesn't work.
I have three SSD's, all of which have 97gb+ free. I've unplugged all USB devices expect mouse and keyboard, all the drivers are upto date and I disabled my antivirus before the update.
Any help would be really appreciated. Apologies if I've missed anything obvious, will provide any other information needed asap, thanks.

Checked another thread with this issue and not keeping any files seemed to be their solution. I can go ahead with this if it's the best suggested option, just concerned with the error with Windows 7 that I mentioned incase that doesn't work for me, thanks again, any input appreciated.
