I tried to google online for help. Need to download file from a new window system. Not sure work or not. Need to copy from office computer.

I have reformatted back to factory setting but still the same error appear. I googled online: Microsoft is aware some customers are unable to install Windows 10 due to error 0xC1900101 - 0x30018. The most likely causes of this error are: Incompatible antivirus or other security program or utility software. Incompatible driver or hardware.

 

later will try to remove mcaffee antivirus and turn off window defender. 

 

Actually still can use but worried when the update said no longer supported and might be hacked. But all along I have no antivirus installed since mcafee expired. Only window defender.

u have to download the os image from windows and let the system run.

of that doesnt works then use a 4 gb thumbdrive and download the boot 

restart your laptop with the usb plugged in and the laptop will boot the new image window 10 

then follow the steps on screen

next is Windows 10.

 

there are many, even professionals who use outdated software.

I get Word documents from audit firms still running on word 97. Just wonder if those guys who prepare the docs work from home on a super old PC with super old outdated software...

Support for Windows 10 will end on 14 October 2025. 

 

yes...

 

The System maintenance by Microsoft becomes shorter and shorter.

it seems they phase out their software around 6 - 8 years nowadays.

 

I don't see much difference between Windows 10 and 11...
