Error (0x8007042B - 0x2000D) when attempting upgrade from Win 7 to 10
I am trying to upgrade a computer from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to Windows 10:
Dell Optiplex 9020
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, SP 1
8 GB of RAM
I updated all my drivers, via Dell Command Update before attempting the upgrade (except BIOS, which I tried to update twice and it failed both times). And before the upgrade attempt, I also uninstalled my security software and a number of old applications, and unplugged the computer from all peripherals except the mouse, keyboard and ethernet connection.
And after doing this, my computer failed twice to upgrade to Windows 10, with the same error message each time:
“0x8007042B - 0x2000D
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation”
Initially all the upgrade processes looked good, and the Win 10 upgrade process (via Microsoft Media Creation Tool 1909) shut down my computer and went to a screen where it said:
“Installing Windows 10
Your PC will restart several tunes. This might take a while.”
And it got to about 31% complete (this is about the same place it got to both times I tried to upgrade to Win 10), and then it stopped and reverted back to Windows 7 and booted back to my desktop.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks!
