I keep getting "Windows setup could not configure to run on this computer's hardware" message at a bout 42% of the new windows update. How can I get this to work?

Do you have any sort of unusual disk configuration e.g. RAID? (Ok, it's a laptop, but I've not checked its specs!)
Dual or triple boot?

Research suggests:
- the hard disk being a 4K sector size and not a 512 byte sector size.

Older sources (pre Win 10):

• In Notepad, click Open on the File menu, and then browse to %systemroot%\Panther.
  
  Note On a standard installation to drive C, the path is C:\Windows\Panther. (On most PCs this will be the C:\Panther folder)
• Open the file setuperr.log, and look for lines that resemble these:
  
  2010-09-23 17:34:58, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'C:\Windows\System32\scecli.dll,SceSysPrep', returned error code 1208[gle=0x000003e5]
  2010-09-23 17:34:59, Error [0x060435] IBS Callback_Specialize: An error occurred while either deciding if we need to specialize or while specializing; dwRet = 0x4b8
  
  Note If these lines and errors exist, note the errors.
• Open the setupact.log file that is located in the same directory, and then look for the line that resembles the following line:
  
  2010-09-23 17:31:26, Info SYSPRP SPPNP: iaStorV is the function driver for device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_2819103C&REV_02\3&33FD14CA&0&FA
  
  Note If this line exists, it indicates that the drive on which you are trying to install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is configured in a RAID configuration.

I could not find the $Windows.~bt\ folder, I believe I did a clean files from system properties that deleted it. However, I did notice that I DO have IIS enabled (for .net development), which is the incompatibility link you posted. Here is an image from minitool, followed by the IIS programs I have enabled. I'm thinking I should try disabling those, and if I still get the error the dell instructions, and if that doesn't work, check my logs?






Can I just disable the service (IIS Admin Service?), or do I need to remove these as recommended from add/remove windows feature area, then add them back?

Thank again for the help, hope to figure this one out.
