Windows 10: 0xC1900101 - 0x30018 FIRST_BOOT SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE Error Win 7 to Win 10 ISO Upgrade

Trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 using the free ISO file directly from microsoft. The "MediaCreationTool22H2.exe" will not open for me at all, which prompts an error "We're not sure what happened.... Error code 0x80072F8F - 0x20000". When I install using the "Win10_22H2_English_x64.iso" tool, which I extracted the folder "Win10_22H2_English_x64" and run the "setup.exe", it starts to Install, gets to 95% then reboots once, Updates from 0% to 30%, reboots again, then it goes from 30% and gets stuck on 48% before getting an error that it will restore back to Windows 7. I do not want

Error "0xC1900101 - 0x30018 - Error in the installation in the phase FIRST_BOOT with an error during the operation SYSPREP

During multiple attempts at installing windows 10 upgrade from win 8.1, the process freezes at 32% total installation and 6% on the "drivers and features" section. I've waited over an hour with no change in either percentage number.
Error Message: Error "0xC1900101 - 0x30018 - Error in the installation in the phase FIRST_BOOT with an error during the operation SYSPREP

After reboot from the freeze, it just puts my OS back to Win 8.1. I've spent hours on phone with Microsoft with no solution. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, Burt

 

W10 Upgrade fails with 0xC1900101 - 0x30018 in FIRST_BOOT with error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE

Hi Microsoft and totally not liable supporters,

since a long time my W10 Upgrade fails starting with 1903.

I checked many forums and tried many things like e.g. deactivation of non-Microsoft services, only mouse and keyboard attached, de-installation of a lot of old software, update of drivers, checkdisc etc. - but all fails.

Currently i try desperately to upgrade via MediaCreationTool1909.exe, but no change in the result:

"We couldn't install Windows 10

We've set your PC back to the way it was right before started installing Windows 10.

0xC1900101 - 0x30018 failed in FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation."

Here my log files:

After off-line removal of AMD driver with DDU and automatic re-install of driver by Windows:

Any idea or hint of why the upgrade fails would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
