Hopefully, before you even considered upgrading from your version of Windows to Windows 10/11, you took the time to confirm that your PC meets Windows 10/11 system requirements. If you are not sure what these are, the following list will come in handy:

• Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
• RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
• Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
• Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
• Display: 1024 x 600 or above

Most computers meet these minimum requirements but may fall short on hard disk space, which could lead to multiple errors during the upgrade process. Just make sure that you have at least 20% more space on your hard disk than what’s recommended before you try the other solutions noted here.

1. Install Windows 10/11 manually

If you are getting the error while trying to upgrade to Windows 10/11 over the internet, it is probably because the internet option does not give you the chance to prepare your PC for a clean install that erases all other incompatible software and features. To avoid errors resulting from this, you can download the OS over the same internet connection, but this time as a file, preferably ISO, and with the help of a Media Creation tool create a bootable flash disk or burn it onto a DVD.

With the Flash or DVD, you can then install the clean version of Windows, choose to keep your files or clear everything up and then reinstall one by one the apps that you feel are important to you. This process rarely has errors associated with it.

2. Turn everything off at Startup

To greatly reduce your chances of encountering error code c19199000101-0x4000d as you upgrade to Windows 10/11, you should turn everything off at Startup. To do this, take the following steps:

1. Type “Msconfig” in the Start search box
2. Right click on the System Configuration Utility and choose to run as Administrator
3. On the tabs for Startup via Task manager disable all MS services

You can enable these services after the upgrade if you want to, but try keeping them at a minimum to improve the performance of your computer.

3. Remove the problematic software

Sometimes what causes error code c19199000101-0x4000d is an incompatible, corrupt or outdated version of the software. If this is the case, then you should consider removing the problematic app from your PC. The following is the general procedure of removing an application in Windows OS:

2. Type “Control Panel” in the Start search box
3. Under programs click “uninstall a program”. A list of the apps installed in your PC will be presented to you
4. Click Uninstall on any of the programs that you want to remove from your system.
5. Wait for the uinstall process to finish before trying to uninstall another program

You must be wondering the kinds of programs that you would want to remove or disable as you upgrade to Windows 10/11. The first should be antivirus programs. Antimalware applications may prevent your upgrade from completing successfully, because they may wrongly classify the new upgrade as being bad for your PC’s health, they may also be incompatible with newer versions of Windows OS.

4. Install system Updates

3. If there are any required updates that the system detects, choose to install them

If your internet is reliable, you can choose to have the updates install automatically, that way you don’t have to manually update your computer every time you feel that you are late on updating it.
