Hi, Can HP Pavilion 15-e078sa Notebook be updated to window 10?

Hi:

I looked at the specs for your notebook and don't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to run W10.

Here's how you can upgrade your PC to W10.

Make the bootable USB installation media with the media creation tool from the link below.

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

It will be easier to do if you have another PC running W10 or W11 to make the media because the media creation tool no longer works on W7/W8.1 unless you make some registry changes.

See the info at the link below if you run into problems.

After you create the bootable USB installation flash drive, have your notebook running and at the Windows desktop.

Plug the flash drive in the USB port.

Open the flash drive in Windows explorer.

You will see a list of files on the flash drive.

Double-click on the Setup application you see in the list of files to begin the upgrade process to W10.

After you upgrade to W10, if you find that things don't work right, you have 10 days to go back to W8.1 as long as you don't delete any of the upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.

Go back to Windows 8.1 - Microsoft Support

Hi,

THANKS for the solution.

I ran into this 0xc1900101 - 0x30017 and update failed around 23%.

What do i do now?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't know what to do when you get an error.

I've never had a problem upgrading any of my older PC's to W10.

See if the steps provided in the link below are of help.

Hi

I've tried all the solutions you suggested me to do and it worked. Thankyou very much for the assist.

I've another question, is it possible to update from windows 10 to 11?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

It may be possible, but you will need to use one of the W11 hardware check bypass methods to install W11 since your notebook's hardware does not meet all of W11's hardware requirements (unsupported processor, no TPM 2.0 security device).

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2.

You are going to basically do the same thing you did to upgrade to W10, but you have to use the version of Rufus I attached in the discussion below because the new version removed the W11 hardware check bypass hacks.

Hi,

I will try if it works. Thankyou for the help!

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

I've installed W11 on older notebooks than yours, so hopefully it will work without any of the same problems you experienced when you first tried to upgrade to W10.
