Windows 10 gives an error. Connected digital TV

Microsoft is now actively encouraging users to switch to the new final version of its Windows 10 operating system. Improved performance, new features, design, and even the possibility of free activation make the new OS very attractive to the user. But, as is often the case with software, a new system often fails to install due to various problems. Below we will analyze the most common cases when installing or upgrading to Windows 10 gives an error, and also tell you how to deal with them with each code.

First on the list, we will put a fairly common update error, namely error c1900101 2000c. An error marked like this occurs when trying to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 to 10. The problem lies in the damage to the update components. You can advise here, firstly, re-download the image, and secondly, update all drivers and check the system for viruses. In general, a much better solution would be to install 10 from scratch than upgrade.

Error 0xc1900101 0x20017

Error code 0x20017 also applies to those who want to upgrade from version 7 or 8. Error 0xc1900101 0x20017 interrupts the update, but fortunately returns the system to its original state, that is, to the one that was before the update was attempted.

We believe that the reason for this error is a conflict between the new system and installed antiviruses and other security applications. There may also be incompatibility with the user's drivers or hardware. Disable your antivirus before updating, connect to the Internet using a cable (use a wired connection, not WI-FI), turn off all devices except the keyboard and mouse. Done? Now let's use the command line. Type "sfc /scannow", after which the corrupted system files will be restored, and you can continue the update without the 0xc1900101 0x20017 problem.

Error 0x8007025d

Error 0x80070003 0x8007025d. Such a nuisance arises due to problems with the boot sector. Format the drive you need during installation, update the BIOS, check the RAM for errors, check the connection of the hard drive to the motherboard. You can download and check the files using the wuauclt.exe /updatenow command.

Error c1900107

Another common problem: error c1900107. A good solution for c1900107 would be to configure the BIOS, namely the Boot partition. The error may occur due to the Secure boot feature, which prevents an unauthorized system from starting when the computer is turned on. Therefore, booting the system from a USB flash drive or optical disk does not work. Let's see how to disable this feature:

1. We go into the BIOS.
2. Select Security Boot Parameters. In the type of operating system, select Windows 8 UEFI, it does not matter which system you want to install. This is true for new BIOS versions.
3. In safe boot mode, you need to select the Custom mode.
4. We click on key management, disable Provisioning, click on secure boot keys to delete all old keys.
5. Insert the flash drive and save the settings. Just before that, set the download priorities. Everything, c1900107 error should disappear.

However, the cause of error c1900107 may be simpler: the same antivirus, or your account may not have the right to update and change the system.

Almost all of the above errors occur during the upgrade to Windows 10. Therefore, it is better to install the system clean. In order for the system to install correctly, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Have I configured the BIOS correctly? You need to set the boot from a USB flash drive or disk as a priority. The flash drive must have an image with Windows.
2. Is the media correct? Whether the disk drive, USB port or RAM is damaged. Make sure the image is intact and undamaged.
3. Is the computer correct? There may be problems with the hard drive, motherboard, RAM, hard drive, or processor. If something is faulty, repair or replace the part. There are also special utilities that check the status of components.
4. Does the computer meet the minimum requirements for Windows 10? The operating system requires a minimum of 16 gigabytes of hard disk space, at least 2 gigabytes of RAM and a processor with a clock speed of at least 1 GHz. But these are requirements only for installation! For comfortable work, you will need a configuration twice as powerful.

Output

Windows 10 is the system of the future, and don't be afraid of possible installation errors. Microsoft is actively working on fixing bugs and is outreach to users to help them resolve issues that arise. The advantage is also the possibility of "moving" from a licensed 7 or 8 to 10. Until July 29, 2016, it is possible to keep the new ten forever, without having to pay for it.

On the last day of April, Microsoft began rolling out Windows 10 April 2018 Update 1803. Users around the world can install it on their compatible computers, laptops, and tablets. This is the fifth major update to Windows 10, the first of two this year. There are a number of new features and changes to productivity, performance and security.

As usual, there may be problems in the new version. When it is created, there is a significant restructuring of the code, which can lead to crashes and loss of compatibility, and this will have a bad effect on the quality of the computers.

Sometimes installation problems may occur due to outdated drivers, conflicts with programs, hardware components of your computer. This guide will talk about such problems with the update and how to solve them.

Issues and Solutions Upgrading to Windows 10 1803

During the installation of an update, there can be two kinds of problems. Errors may be displayed during installation, which are not necessarily bugs. There may also be bugs, compatibility issues, unknown issues.

How to fix problems during the installation process through the update center

The best option for installation is to apply the update center. Sometimes there may be errors that prevent you from completing the installation of updates.

There are a number of such errors, depending on their causes. In any case, it is recommended that you use the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

After completing these steps, open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

There may be problems with your device's network adapter. In this case, select the "Network adapter" section in the troubleshooter.

This error indicates that the computer cannot connect to the Microsoft servers or that there is not enough free space in the System Reserved partition.

Disable VPN

If you're seeing this error when using Windows Update, it might be because you're using a VPN. Disable your VPN and try downloading the update again.

Resizing the System Reserved Partition

It is unlikely that in this section the volume is less than necessary, but sometimes third-party programs like antiviruses can save their files here, taking up space. To fix the problem, you need a third-party application to resize System Reserved to at least 500 MB.

You can also perform a clean installation of Windows 10, then the necessary partition will be created to start the system without problems.

Using the Media Creation Tool

Along with problems connecting to update servers or partition size, error 0x80246007 can occur when downloading an update. In this case, it is recommended to use the Media Creation Tool to perform a clean installation of the system, which will create a partition of the correct size.

Fixing errors when downloading installation files

Error 0x80190001 may occur when trying to download installation files through the update center. Use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary installation files and try again.

After deleting the files, open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on the "Check for Updates" button.

If this method didn't work, use the Media Creation Tool to install the update manually.

How to fix error 0x80070020

It usually appears if some application conflicts with the Windows 10 automatic update mechanism. Most likely, the reason is a third-party antivirus. You can perform a clean install of Windows 10. You can also temporarily disable your antivirus and other security programs and older programs that may be causing a conflict.
To remove, do the following:

After completing these steps, repeat them for other desired applications. Next, try installing the update and install the antiviruses again when the installation is complete.

How to fix error 0x80073712 with missing or corrupted installation files

If you see errors 0x80073712 or 0x80245006, there is a problem with the update installation files. To fix, use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files. Instructions for its use are described above. Clean up temporary Windows files or Windows updates there.

After that, try installing the update through Windows Update again. If problems persist, use the Media Creation Tool to install.

How to solve the incompatibility problem with your device

If you are trying to install an update to version 1803, you may receive an error message that it is not compatible with your computer. The message indicates that the computer does not have the required updates to install this version.

Windows 10 installs updates automatically, but if the computer hasn't been connected to the Internet for some time, after which you try to install a new version of Windows from a flash drive, this problem may occur.

To solve it, install the latest updates:

If the updates you need are not downloaded, you can update the system manually.

How to fix errors when working with Media Creation Tool

When manually updating, you can see the problem with Dynamic Update. Even after rebooting, the computer may hang on downloading installation files.

In this case, try starting the process manually:

How to fix loading problem with Media Creation Tool

Sometimes the manual update tool may hang when trying to download files before starting the installation. You can start it again, but after downloading the files you need to disconnect from the Internet. When the timeout expires, the update process will be skipped and installation will begin.

When the new version of Windows 10 is installed, device setup begins and you can connect to the Internet again. After that, check for updates in the Settings app.

How to fix corrupted files on a flash drive

If you are using an installation flash drive, if errors occur during the installation process, you are not alone. This often happens due to corrupted files on a flash drive. You can re-download these files from the Microsoft server using the Media Creation Tool and create a new installation flash drive.

Now you can use the flash drive to install the April update.

How to fix error 0x8007025D when using an ISO install image

If you see error 0x8007025D - 0x2000C, it means that the image metadata is corrupted, which will not allow you to install updates. You need to use the Media Creation Tool to create a new image. How to download the tool and install is described above. Instead of creating a flash drive, choose to create an ISO image.

Once you're done, you can use the image to update your computer, virtual machine, or other device.

How to fix storage error 0x80070070

Windows 10 32 bit requires at least 16 GB of free disk space, 64 bit needs 20 GB. If your device does not have that many, the following errors may occur:

0x80070070 - 0x50011
0x80070070 - 0x50012
0x80070070 - 0x60000
0x80070008
0xC190020e

To fix this common problem, use the Disk Cleanup utility. There, select clean up system files and you can delete everything except the files for installing the Windows update.

If you can't free up enough space, you can plug in a flash drive of at least 16 GB. It will be used as temporary storage for Windows 10 installation files.

How to fix error 0x80070522

This error means trying to install without administrator rights. If you're using a standard account, sign in with an administrator account and try to install the update.

How to fix Windows 10 before installing an update

If you're using Windows 10 for a long time, you might run into performance and compatibility issues that might prevent you from installing the April Update.

You can use the SFC command line tool to repair corrupted or missing system files. Information about this can be found on the Internet.

If problems persist after this, you can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool.

How to resolve compatibility error 0x800F0923

This error indicates driver or software compatibility issues. It usually appears when there is an incompatibility with a video card driver or other hardware. An outdated program or antivirus may also be to blame.

If your system was working fine prior to installing version 1803, it's hard to know which driver or programs are interfering with your device. In this case, it is best to use the Media Creation Tool to update. If there is a conflict with the software, the tool will provide a report.

If the issue is with the driver, download and install the latest driver from the device manufacturer's website. If you already have the latest driver installed, you can temporarily uninstall the driver and continue installing the update. After that, you can install the driver again.

To uninstall the device driver, right-click on the "This PC" shortcut on the desktop, click on the "Properties" command at the bottom of the context menu, select "Device Manager" in the menu on the left. Select the required device from the list, right-click on it and select the "Delete device" command in the context menu. After that, try installing the Windows 10 April Update.

In addition to error 0x800F0923, during the installation process, error 0x80070490 - 0x20007 may appear, which means that drivers for one or more devices are incompatible. Error 0x80070003-0x20007 indicates that the update process failed during driver installation.

For such errors, when Windows 10 rolls back to a previous version, use the steps mentioned above to temporarily remove problematic devices.

When you experience app compatibility issues, check the app's manufacturer's website for updates. In addition, you can temporarily uninstall the program, install a Windows 10 update, and install it back.

How to fix error 0xC1900101

This error most likely indicates a problem with the device driver. Below is a list of possible errors:

0xC1900101 - 0x20004
0xC1900101 - 0x2000c
0xC1900101 - 0x20017
0xC1900101 - 0x30018
0xC1900101 - 0x3000D
0xC1900101 - 0x4000D
0xC1900101 - 0x40017

0x80090011 means a driver error during user data migration. Below we describe what can be done in such cases.

Installing the latest drivers

To prevent errors 0xC1900101 and 0x80090011, install the latest driver from the device manufacturer's website. After downloading it, use the device manager to install the driver, specifying the path to it on your hard drive.

Disconnecting a device

You can temporarily disconnect problematic devices from your computer, install a Windows 10 update, and then turn it back on. You can turn off printers, scanners, Bluetooth devices, and other items that your computer will not function without.

Using the SFC and DISM tools

The SFC command line tool is built into Windows 10 and allows you to resolve driver issues. If 0xC1900101 errors persist, use the DISM command line tool.

Freeing up hard drive space

When installing an update, it is desirable to have at least 20 GB of free space on your hard drive.

Troubleshooting Hard Disk Errors

You can check the hard drive using the CHKDSK command line utility.
In the start menu, type cmd, right-click on the result, select run as administrator. In the window that appears, type chkdsk /f c: and press enter. If the tool cannot be run, type Y and press enter to schedule the hard disk check. Restarting the computer will force the system to perform a check.

During the scanning process, errors on the hard drive will be automatically corrected. Restart your computer again and try updating the system.

Manual update

Use Media Creation Tool to clean install Windows 10 to prevent 0xC1900101 errors

How to fix error 0x80200056 after random reboot

You just need to start installing the update again.

How to fix software compatibility error 0xC1900208

When you see error 0xC1900208 - 0x4000C, one or more programs are incompatible with the new version of Windows 10. The easiest thing to do in this case is to uninstall these programs. Usually these are antiviruses or other security applications. Delete them in the Settings app.

How to fix problems during the installation process

You may receive two error messages during the installation of the update. The first of them says that the installation cannot be completed, changes are being canceled, do not turn off the computer. The second says that it is not possible to configure Windows Update and reverts the changes.

These are common messages and it is difficult to determine the exact source of the problem. Your best bet is to check your update history. To do this, in the "Settings" application, open Windows Update and click on the link "View update history". Look at the error code for the problematic update. After that, on the Internet, find a description of this error.

How to Fix Minimum System Requirements Errors 0xC1900200, 0xC1900202

Sometimes there are errors 1900200 - 0x20008 and 0xC1900202 - 0x2000, in which the device does not meet the minimum system requirements for installing the new version of Windows 10. Usually, there are no such errors when migrating from the previous version of Windows 10. However, if you're upgrading from the original 2015 version of Windows 10 on an older PC, this can happen.

Below is the list of minimum system requirements for Windows 10 April Update:

• 1 GHz processor
• RAM 2 GB
• Hard disk: 16 GB free space for 32 bit version and 20 GB for 64 bit version
• Video Card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
• Screen resolution: from 800 x 600

Most Windows 10 devices meet these requirements, unless the computer is very old. Usually this problem is related to RAM. In any case, it will require the replacement of a component or the entire device.

How to fix Windows 10 activation issues

Windows 10 is able to automatically activate after reinstallation, but the process does not always work perfectly. There is a small chance that the system will not activate after installing the April update. When this happens, a "Windows is not activated" message appears with error code 0x803F7001 in the Settings app.

In the same application there is a tool for solving problems with activation. It's located at Settings > Updates & Security > Activation. If you are unable to activate your device, you can wait a few days and see if it reactivates automatically.

How to successfully install Windows 10 April Update

Usually, upgrading to a new version of Windows 10 goes smoothly, but since there are tens of thousands of computer hardware configurations, mistakes are inevitable. There are several steps that will reduce the chance of encountering these errors.

Backup

Although there is a built-in mechanism for automatic recovery to a previous version of Windows 10, in the worst case, it will not work. For this reason, you need to create a complete copy of your computer so that you can return it to a healthy state after a failed installation of version 1803.

Windows 10 has a system image tool that has everything you need to restore your computer, including getting back files, applications, and settings.

Removing unnecessary applications

Incompatible and outdated applications are one of the main reasons for not being able to install an update. It is better to get rid of these programs in advance so that there are no conflicts during installation. These are usually old desktop and security applications. You can delete them in the Settings app. If you wish, you can use special programs like Revo Uninstaller to remove desktop applications to also clean the registry of unnecessary keys.

You can also temporarily disable or uninstall antivirus and other security applications. The same applies to the built-in Windows Defender. Disable real-time protection for it while installing the Windows 10 update. To do this:

After installing a Windows 10 update, protection turns on automatically.

Disabling the firewall

Windows Firewall or any other one can also cause problems and errors when installing updates. To disable:

Removing update blockers

If you have made changes to the installation configuration, revert to the default settings so that Windows can download the update to the next version.

1. Open the Settings app
2. "Update and Security"
3. "Extra options"

Under "Choose when an update is installed", it should be set to Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) and 0 days in both menus. Also make sure the "Pause updates" toggle is off.

Disabling metered connections

When you use Wi-Fi or Ethernet and they are set as a metered connection, Windows 10 will automatically prevent you from downloading major updates. If you want to upgrade, you need to disable the metered connection.

If you have a limited amount of traffic, make sure that it is enough to install the update. To disable metered connections:

Disabling unnecessary peripherals

As mentioned above, when installing updates, it is advisable to disconnect all devices from the computer, without which it can work. These can be flash drives, external hard drives, printers, scanners, memory cards, adapters, Bluetooth devices, etc. All you need is a keyboard, mouse, monitor and internet access. After the installation is complete, you can connect all devices back.

Clean install

If you've followed all the tips and still can't install the update, you should consider a clean install of Windows 10. It takes longer, but it removes everything on your primary hard drive partition and installs a clean copy of the April Update in Windows 10. This can save you you from the problems of the current installation of Windows 10.

The easiest way is to use the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable flash drive from which you will install Windows 10.

Conclusion

Although the new version of Windows 10 is already available to anyone, at first it may experience errors, bugs and compatibility issues. Your best bet is to wait for the update to appear on Windows Update. To address existing issues, Microsoft is updating users in stages. If problems are reported, she will fix them before redistributing the system further.

If you are interested in the question of how to get a non-pirated version of Windows 10 activated for free and legally, then you almost certainly know that the free upgrade to this operating system from the "seven" and "eight" has ended July 29, 2016. For a whole year, owners of versions 7 and 8 could get Windows 10 absolutely free of charge and, of course, many have the idea that this “free cheese” could not end forever. It really is. Microsoft itself has left for those in need the opportunity to upgrade to the "ten" without paying anything.

So, after July 2016, it will no longer be possible to upgrade to Windows 10 from the "seven" or "eight" in the previous way. But there are other, workarounds that allow you to use the latest version of the operating system from Microsoft for free. Let's start in order with the simplest.

Free Windows 10 for a PC that already has it installed

The most obvious option is free upgrade to Windows 10 computers whose owners have already tried to install this operating system during the free upgrade period (from July 29, 2015 to July 29, 2016), but then for some reason decided to switch back to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.

The good news is that it's free activation (license) at the time of that previous installation, it was already attached to the computer. All that is needed now is to install Windows 10 by selecting the "I don't have an activation key" option, and the system will be automatically activated via the Internet after the installation process is completed.

You can download a tool with which you can upgrade your computer to Windows 10 or create media with a clean image of Windows 10 absolutely free and legally from official site Microsoft company. If you want to upgrade to "tens" from version 7 or 8 of the operating system, select " Update now". But it's better to put the OS clean by selecting " Download tool now". After that, a program will be downloaded to the computer that will write the Windows 10 installation files to a USB flash drive or DVD.

Do not rush to immediately discount this option until you read this section of the article.

one more an option to get an officially activated version of the Windows 10 operating system for free is actually recognizing oneself as a person with disabilities (maybe we mean our material capabilities?). For such people, Microsoft has provided an offer for free transition to the "top ten" from 7 or 8 versions of Windows without expiration date. Detailed information on this subject can be found at special page corporations. I myself did not use this method, since I received a license for Windows 10 for free even at the time of its first official release as a member of the Insider Program. But my friends wrote that it works.

This offer for a free update for the "ten" is intended for people with disabilities, but this does not mean that the operating system itself will be somehow special and cut down in functionality. This will be the most common version of Windows 10. It's just that the update itself is provided for people with disabilities and those who need to install additional auxiliary programs.

As I understand it, Microsoft is not going to track whether any third-party services for people with disabilities are used in the version of the OS legally activated in this way. This can be understood at least from the following phrase on the Q&A page for this proposal: “We do not limit the offer to users of any specific assistive technology. If you use these technologies on Windows, you are fully entitled to a free upgrade." If you think about it carefully, the terms "people with disabilities" and "assistive technology" can mean a lot of things. Perhaps you have limited financial resources and need to use “assistive technology” for typing with your voice (by the way, finding and installing such a program for your own peace of mind will not be difficult). In general, I would definitely try this method myself if I did not prefer to participate in the Insider Program and did not already receive my licensed version of Windows 10 there.

I will add that I in no way want to encourage you to deceive Microsoft Corporation. I'm just describing the possibility. legal and free upgrade to activated Windows 10, while pointing out the vagueness of Microsoft's wording. As the saying goes, he who has ears, let him hear. In general, there is talk on the Internet that an international corporation has deliberately left such a loophole for a free update. On the one hand, concern for the disabled increases the reputation of any company, on the other hand, many believe that it is beneficial for Microsoft to somehow legalize those users who have traditionally used pirated activation methods and still will never buy a licensed product. After all, you can make money on these in other ways, for example, by showing ads in the Start menu (by the way, it is also in all purchased versions of Windows 10, but you can turn it off). How things really are, we can only guess.

This method no longer works! The only advantage it has over the non-activated regular Windows 10 is that a watermark of the technical version appears on the screen. Unlike the usual one, it can be removed. Alternative to him how to get legal activation of windows 10 described on our new site. At the beginning of September 2017, he worked.

Absolutely Insiders can get a free activated version of Windows 10 from Microsoft. This service is designed for users to test the latest versions of the operating system. By participating in this program, you agree to experience versions of Windows 10 that are being released. They have not yet been presented to the mass user. Of course, sometimes they may not be fully developed, but personally I do not consider this a serious obstacle. Moreover, it is possible to choose one of three levels of OS readiness for the end user. I recommend participating in the Windows 10 Insider Program if:

• It does not have a licensed version of Windows 7 or 8, 8.1, which could be upgraded to "tens" in another way.
• Wants to legally use not Home, but Professional (Pro) version of Windows 10.
• Wants to be a pioneer and use the latest version of the operating system.
• I agree to periodically fully update my Windows 10 to the latest version of its construction (every 2-4 months, the OS will offer a major update that takes 1-2 hours).
• Wants to help Microsoft improve its product (this is not required, but all program members can provide feedback about their experiences and problems).

Of course, if this whole proposal did not have its inconveniences and disadvantages, then this how to get Windows 10 legally and for free everyone would use it. But the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. It is definitely better to use the insider version of the "tens" than activated in a pirated way. Besides, as they say, attempt is not torture. Especially since after a few months of participating in the Insider Program, Microsoft is likely to bind absolutely legal activation to the computer on the most ordinary (not test) version of Windows 10. At least, this was the case before for all Insider Preview participants who received a license for Windows 10 despite the absence of a legal "seven" or "eight" (I myself am one of them).

You can join the Windows Insider Program at page of this project Microsoft official site. After registration, you will need to download (select "Download tool now" on this page) and install a clean image of Windows 10. During the installation process, be sure to sign in with your Microsoft account, which was created (or used) when you agreed to participate in the Insider Program. After installing the "ten", it may not yet be activated. You need to select in the operating system settings "All Settings" → "Upgrade" → "Inside Program" → "Get Started", restart your computer and wait in the coming days for an update to the activated insider version of the "tens".

I will add that even if you participate in the Windows Insider Program, you can choose what degree of readiness of the version of the system you will install. This may be the so-called early access” (the most recent build, but it may have many flaws), “ late access” (there are already fewer bugs here) or a version almost ready for mass release “ Release Preview” (the most secure pre-release, almost ready-to-release updates that are usually offered to insiders a few days before going to all users). To choose your membership level after restarting your computer, you need to go back along the path "All Settings" → "Upgrade" → "Inside Program".

Legal ways to get an activated version of Windows 10 for free

So, let's sum up. For those who have licensed Windows 7 or Windows 8, 8.1 and wants to update his system to the latest version there are two ways get officially activated "ten" even after July 29, 2016:

• Just upgrade to it again or install cleanly if you tried installing Windows 10 between July 29, 2015 and July 29, 2016.
• Take advantage of a free upgrade offer for people with disabilities who need assistive technology.

For those who want to get an activated version of Windows 10 for free, while not having a licensed "seven" or "eight", there is only one legal way:

• Participate in the Windows Insider Program.

Windows 10 has many advantages, but it is difficult to upgrade to it due to the many problems that users encounter during installation. Error 0x8007025D is very common. It occurs when the installation stops at a certain percentage. Trying again will result in the same problem.

Error 0x8007025D causes several problems, but they are all related to the USB buffering system. After a brief explanation of the nature of this error, we will provide you with steps to resolve it.

According to Windows support, 0x8007025D = ERROR_BAD_COMPRESSION_BUFFER = The specified buffer contains malformed data. USB 3.0 uses Message Interruption (MSI) mode to communicate with the system. USB 2.0 uses the much older interrupt request (IRQ) system. One of the features of the new MSI mode used by USB 3.0 devices is the asynchronous handling of data transfer between hardware and system. This requires a buffer through which the data is transferred at a high bit rate (“SuperSpeed”) and then decoded by the system. If you're getting error 0x8007025D, it's likely that PNY devices are sending bad or corrupted data to buffers, your hardware's buffers are clogged, or it can't decode files correctly. Here are the reasons why you might get this error.

Cannot be decoded correctly, causing installation to abort.

• you may have used a faulty ISO image to create a bootable flash drive. If the file to be copied is missing or corrupted, you will get this error;
• A bad drive could be the culprit for the problem. As a result, the system will not be able to read the data in a particular partition. Buffered data will result in an error if you plug in a new USB device that reads like another drive.

Let's say there is a bad sector or entry on the hard disk, and during the installation process, Windows tries to copy files to it. This will cause an error message to be returned to the buffer, which in turn will be displayed under the code name 0x8007025D.

• the cause of the malfunction may be a disc that has been used for a long time (for example, to play computer games) or a drive that needs to be checked or formatted;
• A failed hard drive can also be the cause of error 0x8007025D.

RAM problems

Bad RAM leads to problems during system installation. Since clean Windows does not "fight" for space with other programs, the entire OP is dedicated to installing the necessary components of the system, so even small damage or malfunctions can cause error 0x8007025D. Windows 10 requires at least 1 GB of RAM to install. If data is copied to a bad sector, buffering will receive a message that will be displayed on the screen under the code name 0x8007025D.

How to fix error 0x8007025D

If the first method doesn't work, move on to the next one, as many malfunctions cause the above problem. We have listed all the popular methods, from the simplest to the most complex.

Method 1: Remove external drives

Remove flash drives and other peripherals, including the internet cable. In most cases, the error occurs due to incorrect or outdated hardware drivers.

After copying the system files, try removing the USB drive from the port. Just remove it and see if the installation continues where it left off.

Try again. If nothing worked, move on to the next method.

Method 2: Reduce the amount of space on your hard drive and format it

To install Windows 10, you only need about 20 GB of free space. We recommend reducing the installation partition to 125 GB. This will reduce the chance of encountering bad sectors during file copying. You can reduce disk space during system installation by clicking on the "Expand" button after selecting custom settings.

Select the installation type "Custom - Windows installation only (for advanced users)"

Make sure the hard drive is in good condition and not damaged in any way.

When doing a clean install, you need to format the partition that will have Windows present. This will smooth out bad sectors and writes. In the settings window, click the "Format" button and confirm the action.

Method 3: Download a new ISO image

It is possible that the downloaded ISO image has a corrupted component that cannot be decoded or copied. It may also not be on the USB stick or disc, especially if you downloaded the ISO using the imaging tool.

You need to download the files again, create and repeat the installation. To download the Windows 10 ISO image, go to the Microsoft page.

Method 4: Try Burning the ISO Image to a Different USB Drive

If the flash drive is damaged or has an unreadable partition, then buffering will detect an error and issue it under the code name 0x8007025D.

To do this, you will need another USB drive.

Note! If it used to be USB 3.0, try using the 2.0 port as it has a different technology for reading data.

Method 5: Run a RAM diagnostic and replace the bad RAM card

If all of the above methods fail, then the most expensive one remains to be used. Windows 10 is unlikely to install if the computer has problems with RAM.

If you have two RAM cards of at least 1 GB, try removing one and reinstalling (remove the other if the first fails). You can also check for RAM errors in the BIOS using the Memory Diagnostic Tool. Do the following:

Gone are the glorious days when getting licensed Windows 10 was absolutely free. Until 07/29/2016, everyone could upgrade to ten without any problems. But do not despair! There is still a legal loophole, which we will discuss in this article. If you still have the burning question of how to register Windows 10 for free, then do not run far from the monitor screens and call your friends if they are also interested in it.

1. You need to have a licensed seven or eight.

How it was possible to get licensed Windows 10 for free before 07/29/2016

Option #1: "normal"

In the "regular" situation, each user of the previous version of Windows received the "top ten" for free. But this state of affairs was relevant only for those who purchased the previous version in the store or received it along with their PC. Unfortunately, the vast majority of users in our country actively use various pirated versions or, even worse, numerous “assemblies”, looking at which, any IT specialist can instantly demonstrate all the signs of severe food poisoning at the same time.

However, if you were what is called a "correct" PC user, then getting a free copy of Windows 10 would not be difficult. You just had to click on the notification icon, answer a couple of questions and, after a few hours, get a fresh top ten absolutely free.

If you have never spent money on an OS or have erased the original Windows from your computer, you should consider one of the following options. For each of them, we have prepared a small instruction designed to speed up the process.

Option number 2: insider

The second method made it possible to get an answer to the question of getting Windows 10 for free without having a licensed seven and without investing a penny. The fact is that for participants in the preliminary testing program, Windows 10 was absolutely free. To take advantage of all the benefits of such an offer, it was necessary to act as follows:

1. Go to the Windows Insider website and sign up for the testing program;
2. Find the original Windows 10 Insider Preview image on numerous Torrent trackers (preferably one of the later ones);
3. Install it on your PC and activate it with the original key;
4. It is absolutely free to use.

In addition, this method of obtaining a Windows 10 license allowed you to become the owner of newer versions of the OS, as well as update much earlier than ordinary users, so you would not have to figure out how to speed up getting a new “build” every time. However, you had to pay for such efficiency with reliability - there was a risk that the next update would hit your PC with an error. In other matters, at the time of writing this article, not a single similar situation arose.

Option number 3: folk

Finally, when trying to figure out how to get free Windows 10 and a license for it, you may have resorted to the most common, if not the most legal, method.

• Download from any popular torrent tracker a pirated or licensed image of Windows 10;
• Install it on your PC;
• Activate using KMSNano or any other modern activator.

You can talk for a long time about the moral and legal part of such a decision, however, this option is still the most popular in our country. If you can’t find a license for Windows 10 for free, then many choose pirated versions. I just want to say that in this case it is worth choosing original images, and not assemblies, which have already added a lot of unnecessary rubbish, as well as (in some cases) malware.

Option number 4: hybrid

If you had a pirated Windows, you could update it in the same way as a licensed one, however, after the update, the OS would ask you for activation, which you could not pass due to the lack of a key. At this stage, one could resort to KMSNano or other activators. As a result, you would get a completely official image, in which there would be nothing superfluous and which did not require you to pay.

In this article, we dealt with the topic in detail and get a license for it for free. We hope it was helpful to you. Leave your comments and questions.
