[SOLVED] Windows 10 installation error : 0xC1900101 - 0x40017

[Light Speed]

I'm using the Window's Media Creation Tool to install Windows 10 with a genuine key on my non-genuine Windows 7 computer. After a 30min wait of installations, my PC attempts to boot up and I receive this error. I looked online and the people experiencing this error seem to have already downloaded windows 10, I can't find any similar situations to mine.

I tried to download the files to a USB and boot from USB but it says "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart" then it brings me back to windows 7.

Have you run through all of the fixes here: https://www.repairwin.com/fix-0xc19...ed-in-second_boot-phase-in-windows-10-update/

Failing that working then perform a clean install (remove all partitions from the system drive) rather than trying to upgrade a non-genuine copy of Windows with who knows what malware in it.
