Anyone else getting this? everything prepares, get the dialog, restart, it shows 33% copying files for about 10 seconds, reboots to "Restoring your old versoin of Windows", then drops me back into Windows 8.1 with Windows Update error 80004005-20004 on my laptop model SVE15113EN ...
Make sure you unplug any extra devices you have, like USB drives, wifi dongle, bluetooth dongle, wireless mouse receiver, etc. immediately on first restart. Plug them back in after Windows 10 is up and running so it can look for drivers.
Its either devices connected to it or hardware related. I would search computer manufacture's website and look for updated bios and hardware drivers. Hope you find a solution soon.
ran sfc/scannow and after verification process is completed it reads "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"
I also tried with media creation tool and exactly the same thing happened with the same error code (80004005-20004), but it says "the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during INSTALL_RECOVERY_ENVIRONMENT operation" this only happened when using the media creation tool...
Also sometimes the upgrade fails because the lack of free space. Sometimes the minimal suggested free space (say 16/18GB) is not enough for a proper in place upgrade. Be sure you have at least 20/22GB of free space before starting the upgrade process.
Please run the following command in an elevated cmd chkdsk /r /f Then select y And restart the computer Then restart the installation.
Try this. Do the in place upgrade with the same OS you have, check the activation, then do the in place upgrade to w10
Does having a system reserve partition of 350MB affects the installation. I have an active system reserve partition
While using to Upgrade from Older Windows, you must have quite a lot free space on HDD so the Setup is able to save either your old Windows and also your old apps for possible Recovery! I think just 30GB isn't enough. Check out how big the Windows, Programs (32+64bit), ProgramData and your Users folder are completely together! On my own desktop with an 500GB Main HDD, 200GB in use and those above mentioned folders are 140GB together! I believe that setup is also checking the remaining free is enough for installation and if not, results with error!
Old programs are saved if you do a fresh install. If you do an in place upgrade they are moved, just like the documents. Anyway my point was that, no matter the space you need actually, often the setup app is too optimist and consider enough the space when is not.
If I do an upgrade from any OS, I always check that the free space on HDD is atleast as much as the used space and if not, I free up! Never was get an problem since I do such checking!
