I want to upgrade a PC from Win7 to Win10 keeping file and apps because there is some software that I cannot reconfigure so I have to avoid the clean install.
I installed it with a pendrive made with the media-creation tool.
The problem starts after the driver installation step and the second boot, it ran in BSOD with error:
System thread exception not handled (ndis.sys)
Then after 3 reboot attempts with the same BSOD it restores Win7 and shows the update error with these codes:
0xc1900101 0x40017
I started to read something about win10 update failures and looking for these error codes, therefore I tried something:
With each one of these tests I had the same BSOD problem. Can I do something else?
According to the Microsoft KB page this errors means a faulty driver:
This error occurs when the Windows 10 upgrade fails after the second system restart. They’re likely caused by faulty drivers or software. The following drivers and software are known to cause these errors:
SteelSeries mouse and keyboard software. The SteelSeries Engine is currently not supported on Windows 8.1. This causes issues when you try to upgrade to Windows 10. For more information, see the SteelSeries FAQ.
NVIDIA video card software. Make sure that you have the latest video driver installed.
ESET antivirus and security-related products. See the ESET knowledge base to learn how to safely upgrade to Windows 10 with ESET products installed.
Trusteer Rapport credit-card fraud-protection software. Trusteer recommends that you install the available Windows 8.1 updates before you upgrade to Windows 10. McAfee antivirus and security-related products. McAfee AntiVirus 8.8 Patch 3 is confirmed to be incompatible with Windows 10.Resolution 1
Do a clean boot into Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10.Resolution 2
Run Setup.exe for Windows 10 together with the /DynamicUpdate parameter. This parameter lets the Windows 10 Setup program check for available driver updates during the setup process.
