I try upgrade Probook 430 G1 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I have latest BIOS 1.30 and upgrade finish wit error Clock watchdog timeout. I try too clean install Windows 10.

Hello,
What edition of Windows 8.1 is on your W540? Is it Windows 8.1 (the core edition), Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Enterprise, or something else?

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Hi,
First I assume there is a bluetooth module inside your computer.
If so please test to reinstall its driver. To get a driver for the device, you need to know the brand and model of your computer or your motherboard.
Generally computer manufacturers will provide all drivers for their computers on their website. Search with your computer model on manufacturer's website could help you get a proper driver. If failed, search your motherboard from its manufacturer instead
will also help.
After that, uninstall your bluetooth module from Device Manager and install the driver you just downloaded, reboot to see the result.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

ProBook 4520s hangs during upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 due to Ralink RT3090 driver

While upgrading my ProBook 4520s from Windows 7 pro 64 to Windows 10 pro 64 the laptop froze. It appears that it was caused by the Ralink RT3090 wifi chip driver that comes with Windows 10. I have replaced it with another driver and the upgrade worked fine. The procedure I followed was as follows: - Disable the wifi/bluetooth combo in the BIOS settings. - Goto control panel - Windows upgrade and start the listed Windows 10 upgrade- After Windows 10 has been installed, download the Ralink RT3090 driver from: http://mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/pcimpcicbrt2860rt2760rt2890/ fill in a name, email address and the captcha to start the download of the driver package. Note that Mediatek bought Ralink a few years ago so this site is from the manufacturer or the Ralink RT3090 wifi chip used in the laptop. - Unpack the driver package in a folder.- Select Windows key + R, enter msconfig and run it- Select to start Windows 10 in safe mode after the next boot - Select to reboot the PC- When the PC restarts but before Windows 10 starts up, enter the BIOS settings by pressing escape- Enable the wifi/bluetooth combo in the BIOS settings- Save the BIOS settings and exit- Windows will start in safe mode- Install the new driver by running setup.exe in the folder where the driver package was unpacked- Select Windows key + R and enter msconfig and configure to start Windows normally after the next boot- Reboot It appears that the ProBook 4520s can also come with other wifi chips than the Ralink 3090, so this fix might not be suitable for all versions of the ProBook 4520s.

Thanks for the advice!

Premiere Pro CS3 (Version 3.0) will not start following upgrade to Windows 8-- rest of CS3 is fine

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro;
next time I tried to open Premiere Pro 3.0 (Adobe Master Collection CS3), splash screen scrolled normally through files being loaded until "SolidComposite.AEX", where it white-screened & crashed.
Tried removing that file, it crashed on the next ".AEX" file; removed all ".AEX" files, it began crashing on ".dll" files;
kept removing THEM, just for the heck of it, until the software loader couldn't even start.
I popped in the CS3 disc to repair the installation-- on the entire suite, for good measure;
re-booted & started Premiere-- crashed at the exact same point.
Uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere-- the entire suite in fact, since there are so many common processes;
couple of hours later, re-booted & started Premiere-- same exact thing at the same exact point.
I found this same problem in at least a half-dozen threads, going back to '07--
and several of them even mentioned the same exact file as the trigger for the crash!
Unfortunately, not one of those threads has ever ended with an accurate diagnosis of the problem,
nor a solution more insightful than reinstalling both the CS & the OS.
I don't want to abandon Windows 8...
but on the other hand, I just can't afford to pony up another grand to upgrade the CS Suite again, either...
Besides: CS3 is everything I need, and it has worked wo well for so long--
even now, Premiere Pro is the only software in the suite with a problem!!
(I used Photoshop to create the above screencap)
So I'm hoping against hope that one of you techno-gurus may have come across this ITRW--
and actually SOLVED IT!!

Thanks for your prompt reply, John-- and for NOT simply advising me to spend my kid's tuition on more of your company's products...
Actually, I had tried the "Run as Administrator" option already, having found it in one of those other threads;
there was no change in the sequence described above.
I decided to try another possible solution which I read about in one of those other threads: opening Premiere from a different account.
Incredibly, it WORKED-- sort of...
I got a couple of popups advising me that missing codecs had to be installed-- and upon completion, Premiere opened!
Here's an interesting note: the last file to load was still "SolidComposite.AEX"-- and the "White Screen" I kept seeing was Premiere opening normally. The next thing that displayed was the normal dialog box "Open/New Project"-- I entered a new project name, and Premiere started normally. I even added a few video files as a test... all opened normally.
I returned to the Admin account to see if the fix was in here, too;
but clearly the war wasn't over, over here...
It now appears that some personal setting in the Admin account is causing Premiere to close itself;
I've been reading about the layered security measures embedded into Windows 8-- I'm suspecting the conflict lies there...
I ran the Windows Troubleshooter & got this:
both MS & Adobe confirm that CS3 is fully compatible--here's my sytem info:
Since I seem to have established a fall-back position that lets me use Premiere, my crisis becomes a mere conundrum;
but I know this is gonna gnaw at me anyway, & I'm hoping that this new information might suggest further troubleshooting options to someone who understands the Adobe software and/or the Windows software better than I do!
Speaking as someone who has found many solutions on forums like this over the years, I assure you:
for every person whose post you reply to, there are many more whom you will never know you have helped!!!

Guide to Upgrading to Windows 8 on the T540p (+fix for brightness/black screen on wake)

Hello all. I recently received my new T540p running Windows 7. Although I probably would have qualified for receiving Windows 8 recovery media from Lenovo, I went ahead and did the upgrade myself since I had a copy of Windows 8 laying around (and because I'm impatient). I'm fairly tech-savvy and expected the process to go smoothly; boy was I wrong. I decided to write up this little guide after having a thoroughly annoying time upgrading in the hopes of saving someone else out there from the hassles I underwent.
NOTE: The most troublesome part of the whole process was figuring out why the screen brightness was no longer adjustable and the display would not turn on after waking from sleep (black screen) after upgrading to Windows 8. Skip ahead to step #9 if that's the issue you're having.
Step #1: Make a bootable recovery disc or USB drive
This is important in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade or you decide you despise Windows 8 and want to bring back Windows 7. The T540p comes with a recovery partition in the hard drive (like most laptops nowadays I assume) which allows you to completely wipe your computer and reset it to its original factory state (the same as when you first received your computer). This is normally done by restarting your computer and hitting the enter key to interrupt normal startup and selecting the recovery option from a menu. I wrongly assumed that I would still be able to conduct the recovery after installing Windows 8, but for some reason after upgrading I was unable to start a recovery from the recovery partition. Thus it's important to create a set of recovery discs or a recovery USB drive yourself BEFORE starting the upgrade. Lenovo includes a program which makes this step very easy; see this page for details: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht004960
Step #2: Uninstall certain programs BEFORE upgrading
I skipped this step because I forgot about it. I haven't noticed anything adverse (aside from the brightness/display problem which I assume is completely unrelated), but Lenovo does suggest to uninstall certain programs before upgrading so it's probably wise to do so. Here's the list:
    - DisplayLink Core Software
    - Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver
    - Lenovo Solution Center
    - RapidBoot
    - ThinkPad(R) Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software
See this page for details: http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8/upgrade/think/notebook2_en.html
Step #3: Download and save wireless drivers to external media BEFORE upgrading
After upgrading, I discovered my wireless didn't work and thus I couldn't connect to the internet. I wound up downloading the wireless driver to my phone and transferring it to my T540p. You could also use an ethernet cable to connect to your wireless router or cable modem. But if you have a USB drive, CD, DVD, external hard drive, whatever, save yourself the hassle and download the wireless driver ahead of time. You will need to know the brand of the wireless device (Intel or Realtek); look it up in your email receipt or from the Windows Device Manager under "Network Adapters". Mine was Intel. After figuring out the brand of your wireless device, go to the T540p drivers page here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t54... Look for a drop-down menu that says "Component" and select the option "Networking: Wireless LAN" (LAN, not WAN!). The page will refresh to show only the wireless drivers. Select the Windows 8 64-bit driver that matches your brand (I'm assuming all T540p laptops are 64-bit. If I'm wrong, please correct me). Download that sucker and put it to on the external media of your choice to use later!
Step #4: Begin Windows 8 upgrade
You'll obviously need to have a valid Windows 8 key or purchase a copy of Windows 8 for this step. I had a valid Windows 8 key that had been used on an old computer which died (hence my new Lenovo), so I reused it. This requires Windows 8 to be activated by phone which isn't nearly as scary as it sounds. We'll get to that later.
There are two ways to do upgrade: use a Windows 8 installation DVD or download a web installer. I had a Windows 8 key from a previous web installation and went with downloading a web installer. If you have an installation DVD, just insert it and get started. If you prefer to download a web installer, go to this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only I think product keys are tied to either Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, so select the one that you have a key for and download the appropriate one. If you're not sure, you may have to try both.
During the upgrade, you will be asked whether you want to download updates (I assume this updates the installer) and afterward you will be asked to enter your product key. For some reason, when I downloaded the updates my product key would get rejected. I just restarted the Windows 8 installation, skipped the updates and then my product key was accepted. I don't know if this is tied to the fact that I was reusing a Windows 8 key (again, which had been used on a now dead computer) but if you find your key getting rejected then you may find skipping the updates helps. If this doesn't work and you're using the web installer, try downloading the other web installer (e.g. if you're using the Windows 8.1 web installer and find the key is rejected even after skipping updates, your key may actually be for Windows 8 and you should try downloading the Windows 8 web installer).
The installation itself should be a fairly straight-forward process. There are lots of guides online in case things go awry. If you have any trouble or errors, you should hopefully have made recovery media for worst case scenarios where you need to start from scratch.
Step #5: Install wireless driver & connect to your router
You should now have Windows 8 up and running on your system, but no wireless. Now's the time to use that driver you downloaded earlier. Install it and you should now have wireless access. Connect to your router and get online so we can start some badly needed updating!
NOTE1: your touchpad/trackpoint/keyboard experience will be especially funky at this point. That's because the drivers for them haven't been installed. Normally the touchpad won't be active while you're typing, but because the drivers haven't been installed you'll notice you'll accidentally move the mouse or click while typing (e.g. when entering passwords). Not to worry: this will go away when we install the Lenovo drivers now.
NOTE2: your function keys won't work (adjust sound, adjust brightness, etc.). That's also because of the drivers.
NOTE3: you may notice your screen's brightness may not be adjustable even from the Windows menu. Again, that's also because of the drivers. Hang in there!
Step #6: Activate Windows
Now that we're connected to the interwebs, it's time to activate Windows. If you're completely new to Windows 8, here's where you go:
-move your mouse to the upper right corner then move down
-select "Settings"
-select "Change PC settings" at the bottom
-select "Activate Windows"
This is where you'll enter your product key. As I've said before, my product key had already been used on an old, now dead, laptop. Reusing a key requires you to do a phone activation. If you find your product key gets rejected, go to the phone activation option and follow the instructions. An important note: at some point you will probably be asked how many devices/computers you installed Windows on. The correct answer is "one"; if you accidentally give another number, you'll need to call again and start over. (I'm assuming you're not doing anything illegal. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with you reusing your key so long as you're no longer using the old computer Windows 8 was installed on, e.g. when that old computer no longer works. But if you're trying to install Windows 8 on multiple computers and you can afford to buy a new copy of Windows 8, shame on you. It takes a huge team of coders and support staff to make a product like Windows happen; help them pay their bills by purchasing a legal copy of Windows 8. Students can even get a copy for less than $70 with proof of student status. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-for-Students/productID.288769600...
Step #7: Install Lenovo-specific updates and drivers
I typically hate all the crapware and bloatware companies include with new laptops, but Lenovo does make some which are useful. Their system updater should take care of downloading the rest of the drivers you'll need instead of having to download them all individually (with one exception: the graphics drivers may require a separate download later). Download the system updater here and keep running it until there are no more updates to download: http://support.lenovo.com/en/documents/ht080136
Step #8: Install Windows Updates
Load up Windows Update and start installing. If you're completely new to Windows 8:
-move your mouse to the upper right corner then move down
-select "Settings"
-select "Change PC settings" at the bottom
-select "Update and recovery"
-click the "Check now" button to check for updates
-click the "View details" text link to see the available updates
-click the "Install now" button to begin installing immediately
(Yes, the Windows 8 interface is dreadfully unintuitive unfortunately. Watch some Windows 8 tutorials on YouTube if you find yourself having trouble. Already looking forward to the next version of Windows!)
You'll also want to download the Windows 8.1 update if you installed only Windows 8 (the update to 8.1 is free). The download is available from the Windows Store.
Step #9: Install graphics drivers (if you're having display problems: unadjustable brightness, black screen on wake from sleep)
As I stated earlier, this was the most frustrating part of the installation process. My T540p came with only an Intel HD Graphics 4600 card, but it seems some others include a dedicated NVIDIA card. Whatever updates were installed with Lenovo's System Updater and via Windows Updates didn't seem to do the trick. I even updated the driver with the latest from the Intel website to no avail.
The solution, at least in my case, was simple: go to the T540p driver's download page and download the graphic card drivers appropriate for your system. Go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t54... Look for the "Component" drop-down menu and select the "Display and Video Graphics" option and download the Intel and/or NVIDIA drivers appropriate for your system. (I have no idea what the Intel Wireless Display driver is for, so I avoided it thinking I don't need it)
BONUS Step: Go to ninite.com to download commonly used programs
Shameless plug for one of my favorite websites. It lets you pick from a list of commonly used programs, then downloads and installs each of them all automatically (and skips all toolbars/extra junk downloads). Makes getting started on a new computer a breeze!

Hello Yolanda,
a) I noticed that I can´t install MediaCenter on Win8, but just on Win8 Pro.
b) My problem is, as described, that installing "MediaCenter" on either "Win8 Pro" or "Win8.1 pro", though the "Media Center" key is accepted,
which I once 2 years ago downloaded on ANOTHER "Windows 8 Pro" computer, for free as it was a gift of Microsoft at that time - You could reserve = get up to 5 Media Center licenses per "Windows 8 Pro" computer for later use
on OTHER "Windows 8 Pro" computers - but never used ( i.e. NEVER USED FOR ACTIVATION ),
but after the first reboot, I am running "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" WITHOUT LICENSE, as shown in the system screen.
Neither my "Windows Media Center Key" nor my "WIndows 8 Pro key" is then accepted to change the situation - I mean the keys I entered just before during the installation process of "Windows 8 Pro" and "Windows Media Center".
I am shure that I did not use the "Windos Media Center" key, as I have a list of personal keys I got for free from Microsoft, and I marked those 2, I used for other "Windows 8 Pro" computers.
So fact is, that with my brand-new computer, 32 Gigabytes of RAM, 4 Cores, "Win8 Pro" installed, I am forced to avoid the installation of "Windows Media Center", though I got valid licenses.
So your answer was not quiet helpful, as it does not change anything.
Sincerely
Rolf

Probook 430 G1 - The worst notebook I have ever had

Good Afternoon HP (or whoever may be reading this),
This email is written to address HP customer support.
I will try to keep this message as civilized as possible. I abhor people who abuse manufacturers/sellers just because they have a problem with a product. In this case however, I am beginning to reach the absolute edge of my patience, and so I beg for your forgiveness if I come across as being too blunt.
In August 2012, I purchased a Probook 430 G1, which was one of the newest batches installed with the Haswell chips back then. This was a student promotion offered by my school, Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore.
I don't really want to get into the specifics of the EXTRAORDINARY journey with this laptop, because it makes my blood boil. But the gist of the matter is this: I paid approximately SGD$1200 for this unit, a i7-4200, 4GB RAM model, hoping for a decent experience. What I got back in return was a horrendous laptop which had problems surface from the 2nd day I began to use it. That's right, 2nd day, not 2nd week or 2nd month.
I sent the laptop to HP service centre for a total of 3 times, as well as 1 time where they sent a technician over to try and resolve my problem by installing a new hard disk and then a new motherboard. Problems, not necessarily happening all at once were:
Ultra-incredibly slow performance. I would click on Settings, and it would take 5 minutes before the Power option came up, another 5 minutes before the Sleep, Shutdown, and Restart options came up, and another 5 minutes before the laptop actually shut down. Clicking on internet explorer would take 5 minutes before the browser started to open.
Screen brightness went crazy. I suppose there is a auto mechanism to change the screen brightness according to ambient light. Well, all I can say is that there were times for no reason the laptop would intermittently change brightness back and forth in a jerky manner which almost gave me an epileptic fit
Hard disc problem detected, please blah blah reset blah blah diagnostic blah blah. Every single freaking time I switched on or off my laptop, the same message would appear.
Two times when I sent the laptop for repair, and specifically on the second time, I was told that it was a hard disk problem (I don't need to know that because the computer already displayed that. Tell me something more which any 5 year old kid looking at the computer screen can read out) and that they would replace it for me. I insisted the second time that I was sure it couldn't be a hard disk problem because the first time I retreived my laptop from the service centre, the EXACT SAME PROBLEM had occured. I implored them to perform A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE LAPTOP rather than just replace the hard disk, and was told that they would. But hey when I went back to collect the laptop, guess what had been done this time? HARD DISK CHANGED AGAIN. Of course, I was delighted that they took my begging into consideration. And yes you guessed it, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM... AGAIN happened. And so came the third repair request...
I was told that they would dispatch a technician down to my hostel (I stay on campus) to help be rectify the problem. In the first place, they did not send the technician during the time period which they promised, but I'm not too strung up over that. The technician stripped my laptop to the barebones, and said that everything looked fine, and by examination, from looking at the components, the only evidence of change over the last two repair sessions was a simple hard disk change, and that the other components had not been removed for checking or diagnostics (another indicator of A NICE, THOROUGH CHECK). So he said changing the motherboard might help, and of course I'd kill to make the laptop finally fully functional (this was already 1 year + after the original purchase. I had reverted back to using my DYING OLD LAPTOP WHICH WAS STILL BETTER THAN THE USELESS HP JUNK I HAD TO DEAL WITH)
So he replaced the motherboard and everything, but when rebooting and doing some technical stuff, he told me that a NEW ERROR HAD OCCURED, and that the diagnostics for the battery had failed. Yay. Pleased to say however, I never use my laptop unconnected to a power source so goodness, saving myself from even more horrors. Well I could make do with that right?...
And now the latest problem. Cache problems. I don't really know what that means but trying to surf the internet has been murder. 'Waiting/ trying to detect the cache' or some message like that always pops up at the bottom, SSL Connection errors, the script can't even load. Can't even connect sometimes. The screen resolution I don't even know how to describe e.t.c, e.t.c, x100. I don't want to say more, but it is UNFREAKING POSSIBLE TO USE THIS LAPTOP FOR ANY USEFUL PURPOSE.
Okay so my rant is nearly almost over. I just want to say this. I am sick and tired of travelling down from my busy schedule just to give my laptop for HP to change my hard disk so lamely like that. I am tired of trying to troubleshoot, call, find HP contacts (Probook 430 is not even recognized on the model detection page for goodness sake). For the record, I had a decent-ish experience with my previous laptop which was also HP, and generally during the 3 times I phoned in, the HP person attending to me was very accomodating, polite and sympathetic, and I cannot help but be impressed by it.
But honestly, I feel like demanding nothing less than a full refund for my $1200 because honestly, I have spent more time trying to repair my laptop than using it properly. For the record, I have never asked for a refund for anything in my entire life. This is the first time I really want to do that. I will never ever buy a HP laptop after this because this experience has been too traumatizing to describe.
HP, if you are reading this, please wake up and buck up your idea

Hi @gyx9 ,
I have sent you issue to be escalated and do check your private message when a HP employee reaches out to you.
Best,
Russ

Probook 430 M.2 (NGFF) SSD

I recently bought a HP probook 430 G1 laptop.
It came with a standard 500GB 5400RPM HDD. I want to upgrade it with an SSD.
Obviously I have the standard option of a 2.5" SSD, but I know that this laptop has an empty slot, which should be an M.2 slot, according to its manual. Also, i know that one of the options when buying it is to buy it with an M.2 120GB SSD.
If so, I guess that it is possible to buy an M.2 drive.
However I'm a bit afraid that it won't work. Do you guys have experience with this laptop with M.2 SSD, and can tell me for sure that this option WILL work?
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You are right...the Manual says this:
M.2 SSD and WWAN devices share the same connector; therefore, you cannot install both
devices at the same time.
I would say the fact that you have a boot option for an mSATA must mean the M.2 slot and that would mean you can use it as the main boot drive and still have a regular SATA drive for storage.

How to Perform In-Place Upgrade of Windows Vista Home Professional amd64

I'm trying to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Vista Home Professional amd64 but the setup process fails stating that I need to remove Windows PowerShell prior to the upgrade.
I didn't have http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 installed so I couldn't uninstall it.
I checked Windows features and PowerShell and the ISE were listed.
I tried removing it (via optionalfeatures.exe) but it fails with 'An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed.'
I tried installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried uninstalling http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried performing an in-placce upgrade again and it continues to say that Windows PowerShell needs to be removed.
I cannot remove PowerShell (or the ISE) via ocsetup.exe as no such option exists according to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff716463.aspx
I tried removing it with DISM via /online /Remove-Package /Disable-Feature, but "DISM does not support servicing Windows Vista with the /Online option."
I tried sfc /scannow again - same 'Windows
Resource Protection' error.
I tried the in-place upgrade again and it still needs PowerShell to be removed.
There have been chkdsks and reboots peppered throughout this process.
I don't know what else to try & I feel like I'm stuck in a possibly crazy catch 22 situation.
Note: This is a Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit machine.
For those that need more history on how I got here, I'm going to refer you to my 'Windows
Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation' post in the, incorrectly categorized, Windows 7 forums. In short:
Whenever I run Windows updates, all the updates fail. It doesn't matter if I do one, all or something in between - they all fail.
I ran sfc /scannow but that fails with 'Windows
Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'
I tried performing an offline scan as well but that failed with the same 'Windows
Resource Protection' error.
Not sure what to do at this point and I don't know what logs would be helpful for you to review at this stage (cbs.log, windowsupdate.log, other?)

Please try below and check if we can boot normally now.
1.
Boot to Recovery console2. Use the backup
System registry hiv to replace the current hiv
In the Recovery Console.
In CMD, go to:
     %systemroot%\System32\Config\
Run: ren system system.old
Go to:
     %systemroot%\System32\Config\regback
Run: copy
     %systemroot%\system32\config\regback\system %systemroot%\system32\config
Restart your computer.
After that, please try to test if the server can boot to normal mode now.

Apologies for the delay. I will first try your suggestion above followed by system restore if that fails.
I'll do this over the weekend (if not this evening) and update this post.
Thanks!

What could be the issue?

Hi Exotic Hadron,
The general information for this error:
Error: 0x8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
Please first check if you have enough memory (more than 2G) and storeage space for C Drive.
if this issue persists, you can send your rollback logs to me, I would look into it to see if we can find something.

Is version 6.2.9200 build 9200 upgradable to windows 8.1?

I have tried to upgrade from the windows 8 Pro version 6.2.9200 - build 9200 to the new 8.1 update in the windows store. It gives me a error after it installs and says " Couldn't update to Windows 8.1" "Sorry, we couldn't
complete the update to Windows 8.1. We've restored your previous version of Windows to this PC." "0xC1900101 - 0x20017" Then I tried to download the update as the media update via the USB and DVD none have worked. The media installs
give me the reason they were failing being the windows key is invalid for this version of windows but my version was bought from your company through the store. It is activated and is up to date with all windows updates. Being the key is good for the windows
8 part and not the upgrade to 8.1. How do I get this update? Better yet, Can I get this update?

Hi,
In most of the cases,0xC1900101-0×20017 errors signifies issue with any kind of encryption software, Wireless, Bluetooth or card reader software.
Do you have your HDD(boot loader) encrypted with Truecrypt or bitlocker?
I suggest you uninstall these software to check the result.
Then, disable Windows Firewall or other security software before Windows 8.1 update, and then restart your computer. You can enable the firewall after the update is installed.
In addition, if we still fail to install Windows 8.1, please collect following logs and upload here for further research:
setuperr.log and
setupact.log under C:\Windows\Logs\PBR\PreRollbackLogs\
Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive and put a link to them in your reply.

Upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10 fails with an error code, at the very end of processing

I tried to upgrade to Windows 10. It went through the whole process, and upon reboot at the very end it failed. It threw this message: I searched on these terms and couldn't find an answer. My machine is brand new. I haven't installed much on it at all, figuring it's better to wait until I've gotten Windows 10 installed. Any ideas?

So it looked like I was missing a KB update, the 3035584, which enables the upgrade. I performed some Windows 8.1 updates and got everything set up. I ran the upgrade to Windows 10. It went all the way through to the reboot, taking about 20~30 mins. At this point it asks me to confirm installation, and I select "OK" and it goes for another 20 mins. It proceeds about 10% of the way there, and then it reboots. The next thing I see on my screen is "Restoring your previous version of Windows". I'm back to Windows 8.1 again. I log in... and same error message as shown above. Frankly, I can't understand what is causing this... and why Windows can't "figure out" if my machine is good to go for a full installation in just 10 mins or so. Why go through all of these gyrations for 45 mins only to reject the whole process?
