I have tried all the suggestions on my laptop to complete the upgrade to fall creators 1709.  

I have tried the trouble shoot the upgrade (It always fins registry errors after the update...  I run it a couple of times and the second time the registry errors are gone but come back after trying the 1709 update)

I have tried the upgrade by doing the manual update

I have tried resetting all of update... and then trying the update again

I have tried by unplugging the Ethernet cable

I have done a chkdsk c: /f

I have tried Regcure pro (as recommended by Microsoft on a support page - they are a Microsoft partner)

I have tried going back to earlier backups of the laptop..

All end in the same way...

The updates fail after 45% with a old style popup box .. saying windows can not configure one of the system components...

I have tried many options...  but no solution...

I have spent over 80 hours working on this issue...  I really do not want to do a full reinstall of the laptop.... 

Help!!!

    I got this error

    0xC1900101 - 0x30018

    The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation

    I verified that all devices are ok and individually asked the device manager to check for updates for every device.. and it came back each time that the driver was fine and current

    any thoughts

    I tried the following steps....

    1. Visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
    2. Select Download tool Now, and selectRun or Open. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.

    Once again the upgrade failed with the same old style error message

    Windows could not configure on one or more system components.  To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation.

    Any other suggestions????

    It is odd that they are not a Partner.. They display it on their software and they were suggested on a Microsoft support page???

    Thanks for the suggestion...

    I have tried the manual download as well!  (it ended up with the error)

    I have not tried the Upgrade path....

    I do not want to have to reinstall all my applications...

    I will go ahead and try this...  It is a lengthy process...

    I hope it works..

    Hi,

    Regcure Pro is not a Microsoft partner. Microsoft doesn't have partnership with third party registry cleaners.

    I recommend to upgrade your pc to 1709 via media creation tool.

    1. Visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
    2. Select Download tool Now, and select Run or Open. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers!
