5) update windows (have all recommended updates installed) and reboot after updates

6) List and uninstall all non-Microsoft antivirus software
(This includes always on and manual software.)
(This includes running the applicable antivirus uninstall tools for any AV that could have been incompletely uninstalled)
(And this includes uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) immediately before the upgrade attempt)

12) Detach all SATA devices other than the disk drive that has the Windows operating system
(Make sure that the only disk drive that is attached to the computer at the time of the upgrade attempt is the disk drive containing Windows)
(Other disk drives may be able to be detached by disconnecting cables or if necessary to remove the drive from the computer)

13) Make sure that there is no metered connection:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17452/windows-metered-internet-connections-faq

Like I said , I'll check it again , Friday is the earliest as old mate lives 150 miles away.

I do know he has two Anti Virus programs installed .i.e. McAffey and Nortons Security, also has Malwarebytes including 2 Iobit software programs.

From what I have read on some posts that have had this problem as well as googling those error codes, it appears a lot of people had similar issues.

It was suggested to remove or disable all antivirus programs as well as get rid of Malwarebytes and possibly Iobit software. I did not install them previously, they also never came installed when he purchased the pc, some other person installed those other programs well after the original Windows 10 Rollout was offered.

There can be problems having 2 or more antivirus/antimalware programs running at the same time. They can be installed but only in a manually-run scenario with 1 set to run normally/in the background. The issue usually is in how the definitions of infections are determined and handled. If Norton is being supplied by someone like the ISP/Internet Service Provider or bundled with something else I'd uninstall McAfee and Malwarebytes first.

Ok, I'll be uninstalling McAfee and Malwarebytes to begin with, Check if it has been updated to SP1 and check for errors on disc before trying to upgrade to Windows 10 again and see what transpires.


This time I'll take better notes of any errors or issues as well as screenshots if possible.

It can be difficult to remove completely. You may need the McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool (MCPR)
https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter...3Dcaj8jaib0_67

In addition to the McAfee uninstall tool run these uninstall tools:

Download and run the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool
https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb_clean
COMPLETELY remove IOBit - IObit.Com Forums


When available please post the share links, and logs in post #11.

Thanks for the additional help people.

Update,

Went to see old mate today and checked his pc. It is Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 installed.

I used Revo Uninstaller to remove McAfee , Malwarebytes and all Iobit software. Done a Disk Check as well as scan for errors. Took a very long time, Found no issues.

I then inserted disk with Windows 10 , clicked on setup and go through the process. It went through to the installation stage 100%, then the next stage, started to work on updates, got to 30% then self booted to next screen, black colour (normal) then back to the blue screen....do not switch off computer working on updates, ...then up came the screen with a rectangular box saying,

Install Windows
The System Registry Contains Invalid File Path. Installation cannot proceed.
This System Image was applied without guaranteeing the drive letter assignment would match across computer.


Had to turn pc off then reboot, Windows then began uninstalling previous steps back to Windows 7.

After this occurred . Same message as per previous occurred.

0xC199090101 - 0x30018
The installation failed with FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSTEM-SPECIALIZE Operation.

See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=528892.

I pasted this link in web browser, took me to Microsoft webpage with explanations as what it could be and work arounds.

Still no joy, as yet.
