I am trying to install the new Windows 11 update from Windows Update, but I keep getting error 0xc1900101.

The installation starts, and after a couple restarts, it says:

" Attempting to recover installation "

" Undoing changes made to your computer "

And then I am greeted with error 0xc1900101 on Windows Update.

    The following information may or may not be useful regarding the 0xC1900101 error. On one of my attempts to upgrade my windows 10 it failed with the same error, but after the roll back and subsequent re boot I had the following message on screen.

    We couldn't install windows 11. We set your pc back to the way it was right before you started installing windows 11.

    0XC1900101 - 0X4000D

    The installation failed in the second _Boot phase with an error during Migrate_Data operation.

    I hope this may be of use to someone in figuring out what is causing this.

    No luck with the ISO. This is nice and confusing:

    I had that too - but press the button to the right - dismiss, and setup will continue. Mine did anyway. You may need to press more than once.

    Hope this helps.

    I didn't realize an ISO was finally available ... looks recent, thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll give that a shot.

    By the way, Can I ask smth? Is there any way to download Windows 11 for Legacy Bios. My laptop said that "Your laptop does not meet the minimum hardware requirement for windows 11". Is there any hope for me?
