Hello,
0xC1900101 is generic error code and points to driver incompatibility while you opt to upgrade. You need to read the dialog, which likely came before this error message. There should be additional information with the detail. The dialog will tell you what devices are having a problem. That is the one you need to get a new driver for.
Once you fixed the driver(s) mentioned with detail, the error will no longer persist.
Hope this helps!

This is a whole day download. I went through Troubleshoot update, and following a couple of error corrections, got a quick restart following what I took to be installation of a patch, and at last it started to download, taking all day. Installation took nearly an hour with numerous restarts.

Very good. It is always good to do quick fix #8 even when there is nothing to fix, I think.
It is written in the Bible that an upgrade is a migration of files, drivers & settings through the wilderness with Moses that takes 40 years, but a clean install is everything new & takes only 7 seven days with plenty of rest on the seventh day. But they possibly measured time differently back then. Anyway, I've had an upgrade that took a tad over an hour & two clean installs that took only 24 minutes apiece.
Glad your clean install was a success.
