I have a brand new PC with Windows 10 and since the last month, I receive error messages about the 1709 update. The error code is 0xc1900200 which means that "machine does not meet the minimum system requirements."
This morning, the error message was a bit clearer:
you can't install windows on a usb flash drive using setup
Since I moved the OS from a HHD to a M.2 SSD drive, is it possible that windows consider it as a USB drive? If so, how can I let him know it's ok to install the 1709 update on it?
Windows does not allow portable installations of Windows to be updated. This includes the installation of feature updates.
