[SOLVED] Fail to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 – error 0x800707E7 - 0x3000D

I suggest to restore the userprofile folders so they will be on the systemdrive C:.
If the upgrade completed successful you may change the userprofile folders back to drive D:
Restore the userprofile :
Move as much as possible from userprofile folders on drive D: to another location, for example E:
Just make sure that the userprofile folders on drive D: are as clean as possible so they will fit on drive C:.
Restore the userprofile folders back to the original location C:\Users\<username> by undoing these changes:
I moved it by opening %userprofile%, right-clicking the Desktop folder (it was default then, yet), choosing Properties > Location tab and clicking [Move].

Please report when done.
 
Restored. (Screenshot in Dropbox - file Shell-Folders-after-restoring-defaults.png). I understand I should try to upgrade?
 
Restart the machine first.
Next, try the upgrade and report the result.
 
Upgrade failed with the same error code. I uploaded fresh setupact.log to the same Dropbox folder (subfolder "3rd try (...)"). It looks like the same error. "Lenovo" vs "Lenovo.000" conflict.

During upgrades, while you're guiding me, I always choose 1) not to download updates etc. and 2) preserve my apps and settings. (Although I tried various combinations before I created this thread).

Could it be a possible solution if I created a new user named "Lenovo.000"? And maybe copy my userprofile content there (or maybe leave it unchanged after creation)? Or something in this direction?

Done, file Fixlog.txt uploaded to Dropbox (as "3rd try (post#24+)/Fixlog (post#28).txt").

Fixed it (Fixlog.txt on Dropbox), but I have 1 question before upgrade.
In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
Common Administrative Tools
="C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools"
while the rest starts with "%ProgramData%\…" or "%PUBLIC%\…". Should I change this one to:
"%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools"
before upgrade?

Great.

but I have 1 question before upgrade....
I noticed that already but I did not find the highlighted registry valuename to verify
I would just leave it for now. By default %ProgramData% is the same as C:\ProgramData so it doesn't make a difference for this registry value.

Go ahead and try the upgrade again.
 
(Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town for 2 days.)

Upgrade successful! \o/

Thank you, thank you very much, PeterJ <3
You're a Good Man, you're a magician!
 
Great. Your welcome.
I will mark this thread as solved.

Take care.
 
To sum up, and for other readers to know what was the solution… As I understand, the solution was to restore all Windows userprofile/allusersprofile folders to their defaults 🤔
