I have done everything on this list and still get the 0xC1900101 0x20017 error during SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation
100% my drivers are all updated
I have unplugged all of my drives except the C drive
I have no external devices connected
From what I read, the ISO file is NOT a viable option, since the installation process I find, including DaCosta's links, says install WIndows 10 then reinstall Windows 10 from ISO, but if I could install Windows 10, I would not need the fricken ISO to reinstall.
If there are better instructions somewhere on how to use the ISO file that does not FIRST include a successfull install, that would be awesome.
I now have 9 attempts and over 20 hours into the "FREE" Windows 10 disaster, and as far as I can tell, I have progressed very little. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for this abortion.
