shanyi i got this error and it was because i didn't have enough room on my SSD
- Brad_PavlackaCopper ContributorI'm just going to add on to Seymour's post a bit since this was my issue as well - mine was a "download" error (as opposed to an "install" error) for today's "Windows 11 Insider Preview 25179.1000 (rs_prerelease)". I got the error when I had ≈24GB free on my OS drive, but it ran fine after disabling hibernate, bringing my freespace to ≈30GB.

Hello shanyi,
Error 0x80070001 is a Windows system error or a Windows update error - it can be initiated by a problem with the Windows update components or malfunction in your system. This error occurs during Windows installation, download, and Windows backup and restore.
However, here are some reasons for the occurrence of an error,

Re-install the TCP/IP Stack Protocol:

- Firstly, press the Windows logo + X keys, and from the pop-up window, select Device Manager.

- sparck1206Copper Contributor
I've suffer this problem too, I think it maybe caused from a disk spaces not enough.
After trying disk clean, the Windows 11 Insider Preview could install smoothly.
Note. My system drive available spaces is over 24GB
FYI
