Hello Garon Booth

Many times this problem occurs due to Ralink's Bluetooth and WLAN drivers that your current operating system may have. However before making any major changes such as removing some important drivers from your PC, you may want to check the suggested answer in this post that seems to have provided solution to the same issue to some users.

If the problem persists, you can uninstall the WLAN and Bluetooth drivers from computer and then retry upgrading to Windows 10.

If none of the above solutions work, as a last resort you can download the .ISO image of Windows 10 and can try upgrading your current OS to the latest in offline mode.

Let me know if this helps. Good Luck!!

#1 Reason upgrade will fail: Using DUAL DRIVES. If you have a SSD and a HDD but moved your profile / other key folders to 'D:' Windows Upgrade will fail till you relocate everything back to the C Drive.

Otherwise can be any number of things including that the Servers are overtaxed at this moment (we are talking over a BILLION copies of Windows exists out there).

Hello again Garon Booth

It should be there. You can find it under the Network adapters tree.

Cheers!!

sadly it did not work. So my next step was to use an iso which I did...but I got the exact same problem it said this:
C1900101 - 0X20017
the installation failed in the safe_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation.

UPDATE: I have found my solution. Some mobos out there particularly MSI you must un-overclock you cpu before upgrading. Which is what I did, and it worked charms UNTIL I tried to overclock it back to 4.2ghz in windows 10 and it gives you a never ending boot loop. The problem occurs on the g3258 at least that I know of. So to operate on windows 10 you must have no OC atm until they fix this.

Added note; Numerous CISCO (Linksys) devices A) install CISCO VPN which doesn't get removed in the upgrade so there is several steps to 'try' and B) MOST IMPORTANT - CHECK YOUR HARDWARE IS COMPATIBLE. Some models of devices are NOT Win8 and thus NOT Win10 compatible and won't work even if it says properly installed and 'working'.
