Windows 10 Error Message - Something Happened - 0x80070070 – 0xC19001DF

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I’m sorry to know that you are getting error 0x80070070 – 0xC19001DF when upgrading to Windows 10. Don't worry, I'll be happy to assist you with this.

You will experience these symptoms if you have just enough free disk space to pass the compatibility check for installing Windows 10, but not enough disk space for the additional updates that are installed during setup.

If you receive these errors on a device that has little free disk space, try freeing up additional space and try again. Depending on the device, you may need 10-13 GB of free space to install Windows 10.  We’re currently working on modifying the compatibility check so that it doesn’t underestimate the amount of space required.

Please refer the wiki article given by Andre De Costa on “How to: Troubleshoot common Setup and Stop Errors during Windows 10 Installation” and check if that helps.

I'm getting the error message "something happened" as well on Windows 10 upgrade.  I'm going from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.  I had the update icon before but I don't see it anymore.  I went with the media installation thing.  I attempted both download to an external thumb drive and also installing it to the laptop and both times I'm getting "something happened" after the whole 100% download and install. I'm using 64 bits.  My laptop has 916 GB of total space and I have 784 GB of FREE space so it could not be disk space causing this.  I also have all the updates already using windows update.  I like to get this windows 10 update.  any idea what I should do and how to make sure I will be able to update the laptop?  Please advise and tell me what info I could tell you to figure this out. 

Thanks.

uh how do you get it on a sd?

run the media software thing.............. and then you can save it to the thumb drive............ there's 2 options, install or save to thumb drive.............

I have the same problem. But I'm not triing to install Windows, I'm just tring to create a CD To resintall, as proposed by the MediaCreationToolx64. So 'I'm just tring to load an ISO file and it doesn't work, already 3 times.

I find it's incredible!!

Why not to hate Windows?

I already tried another tool to transfer Windows and it didn't work. I find it's awfull.
