    Thank you so much! This worked like a charm. I noticed for me at least, the key was to wait after hitting cancel (on the Reinstall and Keep personal files settings).The Screen remained blue for about a minute after selecting cancel (Do not Hard Shutdown). After selecting continue to Windows 10 My HP Laptop rebooted on its own 3 times and the third time Windows 10 started and the error about the failed installation was gone. The key for me was patience and doing exactly what you had in your post Tgatlin2000.  Thank you sooooo much!!!!

    Here is the fix for "Windows could not complete the installation:

    So I managed to get it started up. I turned the computer off and on 3 times to start advanced recovery. Choose advance options.  I was about to restore windows (reinstall windows and removing all apps and programs by keep personal files). Select reinstall and keep personal files. And then on the next screeen hit cancel.  So I hit cancel at the next prompt. I then selected start windows and it continued installation as normal without the error.

    Look no further, cause this solution works like a charm.

    Thank you so much for this fix.I thought i had to reinstall my windows all over again .Your answer really made my day.

    Thank you for your help.
