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!

    Thanks for the information. Sounds good, very similar to my own experience. We were lucky it wasn't more serious drivers involved & that they did update well eventually. In my case, my Realtek audio worked well, but just kept complaining it needed a reboot to complete its install. That went away when it was updated to a newer version. Most drivers were fully updated automatically during the clean install. I did need to install my Dell touchpad driver from the site to get its full features, I see my notes say.

    I guess her computer has no digital license because it did not undergo a free upgrade. Or it did undergo one, but then an upgrade (or clean install) was done that didn't reference it. Instead, a product key was input. Maybe, if she takes the computer back, she can link it to her Microsoft account & get the digital license back. I don't know.

    OTOH, if that computer now has a retail license, that is actually better. It can be moved to another computer, if/when necessary. I hope it says that Windows is activated at that Activation screen. That is really the main thing.

    OK. Glad to see all is well. Keep us informed.

    Good to hear. If you mean to say you no longer want pesky notifications of busybody posts into this thread (present company excluded), then...

    (1) Scroll to the top of any page.
