    SetupDiag can be helpful parsing the upgrade log files. Sometimes there are multiple errors. As for this specific error I would guess a weird disk layout, or having rerouted users or program files to a different disk and/or partition.

    I think you could be right with the disk layout. I had three partitions on the old SSD, two legacy from the old system.  Setupdiag I tried before, but it gave no usable information

    However, I got tired of trying, so I did a clean install of windows, and applied some of the backed up stuff I had. Only few things I had to rebuild.  Everything is working again, flawless. 

     

    thanks for the reply anyway.

     

    note to self : create new backup
