You should always spend some extra time to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-system-image-backup-windows-10-video\/\">create a full backup of your device<\/a> with the installation, settings, apps, and files in case you need to go back to the previous version.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91309\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-91309\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/windows-10-full-backup.jpg?resize=827%2C471&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Windows 10 full backup utility\" width=\"827\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/windows-10-full-backup.jpg?w=1125&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/windows-10-full-backup.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/windows-10-full-backup.jpg?resize=1007%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1007w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Windows 10 full backup utility<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Generally speaking the upgrade process to a new version of Windows 10 goes without problems and there are many built-in mechanisms to safely revert the changes if something isn&#8217;t working correctly. However, it&#8217;s always recommended to create a backup in case something fails, or you should at least make a copy of your personal files.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"storage_problems_windows10_1809\">Avoid storage problems during a Windows 10 upgrade<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common problems during an in-place upgrade to a new version of Windows 10 is <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/fix-error-0x80070070-windows-10\/\">not enough storage space available to complete the upgrade<\/a>, which triggers at least three error messages, including 0x80070070 \u2013 0x50011, 0x80070070 \u2013 0x50012, or 0x80070070 \u2013 0x60000.<\/p>\n<p>Storage availability is a common problem on devices with limited hard drives, such as budget and older computers. You can avoid this problem by making sure your device has at least 20GB of available space for file download and installation.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have enough free space, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/remove-temporary-files-windows-10\/\">Settings app to delete temporary and other unnecessary files<\/a>. Alternatively, you can connect an empty USB flash drive with at least 8GB of storage space that Windows 10 will detect and use as temporary storage to perform the upgrade.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_102472\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102472\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/windows-10-storage-sense-2018.jpg?resize=827%2C603&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Windows 10 Storage Sense in version 1803\" width=\"827\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/windows-10-storage-sense-2018.jpg?w=1080&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/windows-10-storage-sense-2018.jpg?resize=150%2C109&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/windows-10-storage-sense-2018.jpg?resize=300%2C219&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/windows-10-storage-sense-2018.jpg?resize=787%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 787w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Windows 10 Storage Sense in version 1803<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the installation, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/delete-previous-version-windows-10-after-upgrade\/\">reclaim space using this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"uninstall_incompatible_apps_windows10_1809\">Uninstall non-essential apps to prevent upgrade problems<\/h2>\n<p>Security applications are one of the reasons installations fails.

If you\u2019re having issues, you\u2019re likely not the only one with the same issue. The best thing you can do is to note the error message and search online for the fix or workaround. If it\u2019s a known issue, Microsoft usually will publish the problem, status, and timeframe for a permanent fix. Sometimes, the company even publishes temporary workarounds for some problems.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to unexpected errors and bugs that could be hidden on Windows 10 version 1809, there are a bunch of well-known problems (not considered bugs) that can occur during the upgrade process.\u00a0For example, an error code that begins with <strong>0xC1900101<\/strong> (e.g., 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x20004, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x2000c, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x20017, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x30018, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x3000D, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x4000D, 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x40017) is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/fix-0xc1900101-errors-windows-10\/\">typically a device driver error<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you come across error 0xC1900208 \u2013 0x4000C, it means that an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/fix-error-0xc1900208-0x4000c-windows-10\/\">app is incompatible with the upgrade<\/a>. Another common error code is 0x80070070 \u2013 0x50011 (0x50012 or 0x60000) which typically means that there isn\u2019t enough space on your device to complete the update.<\/p>\n<p>When dealing with errors and other problems you don\u2019t know the fix, submit your questions in the forums. Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft support directly, or on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MicrosoftHelps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"username u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">@<b class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">MicrosoftHelps<\/b><\/span><\/a>.
