Win10 home will not install - 0xc1900101 - 0x20017
Please help me solve this problem which is driving me nuts. Yes, I have searched for solutions and have not yet found a reasonable one. I have Win 10 installed and activated on one computer - Asus z97 Deluxe/USB 3.1 mobo - but it ABSOLUTELY refuses to install on another computer - EVGA z97 Classified mobo. Regardless of the method - and I have tried all I know of - I ALWAYS get the same message: "Installation failed 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during Boot Operation". All bootable win 10 USBs and DVDs refuse to boot. Microsoft seems to have the attitude of ignore this problem and it will go away. I have not been able to find any advice from Microsoft concerning this problem (surprise, surprise). Out of desperation I even purchased Win 10 Home (which means I simply purchased a too expensive key. I was extremely disappointed that no different software came with with the purchase. Some of the solutions I have found are so difficult I might have been able to write a C++ program that would be much simpler - but my programming days are a thing of the past. For heaven's sake, there must be a reasonable solution for this problem. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
