Understanding deployment and upgrade logs
Can someone help me find the resources to really understand Windows upgrade logs? What I find on Technet starts off pretty good, with an explanation of error codes and "some" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/resolution-procedures#0x800xxxxx , but in the end it's not detailed enough to do error-digging.
I am looking for an error code like
----------------------------------
0x80070005-0x5000F
----------------------------------
0x8 is a Win32 error
7 is the device
0005 is Access denied
----
0x5 is SP_EXECUTION_UNINSTALL
0F is SP_EXECUTION_OP_ADD_UNATTEND
Especially that last part: what is it about? And what are these procedures below trying to access? Boot sector?
---------------------------------
2019-01-03 09:24:21, Error SP CSetupPlatform::SuspendAndRelease: Error creating the Setup Platform key. Error: 0x80070005
----------------------------------
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
