0x1900204 in attempting to update to Windows 11 no matter what I try
- Oct 06, 2021
SacrifusionValid point about Windows 10.Good for another 4 years I believe.
I discovered why mine wouldn't install. The SSD has 2 partitions - one for Windows and the other for Data. Looking at the Registry I saw that the Data partition (D:\ProgramFilesDir) was set as default installation directory. Changed the relevant entries back to C:\ProgramFilesDir, and Bingo! Now in possession of Windows 11 in all its dubious glory!
SacrifusionDid you get anywhere? Same issue occured for me. No matter what 'solutiond' I tried, the error keeps on coming.

Nope. Since today was release day, I tried my whole battery of tricks again to see if there'd be any difference, but none at all.
I even manually deleted the updated download files.Not even sure why I'm trying so hard. Win10 is working great for what I need and the odds something I need malfunctioning on 11 will probably out balance any benefits of a shiny new OS.

- sophyphreakFeb 09, 2022Copper ContributorI'm 99% sure this fixed it for me too. Still in progress of installing, but I had also switched to D:\ProgramFilesDir, so I think this was also my problem. This was a nice catch! Thank you so much for sharing. Took me hours to find an answer that works.
