When I install the newest Windows 11 Insider Preview 22518.1000 (rs_prerelease)it signs "Install error - 0x80070001 "I have retried so many times,but it does not work!!!

A stable and reliable internet connection is crucial for downloading and installing the Insider Preview. Make sure you are connected to a strong network, either wired or Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, consider moving closer to the router.

I'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.

Open start and search for cmd or command prompt and right click and run it as administrator and then type the following command:sfc /scannowPress enter and let it runs.

shanyi i got this error and it was because i didn't have enough room on my SSD
