The error 0xC1900101-0x30017 with the message "The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during BOOT operation" typically occurs during a Windows upgrade or installation process. This error often points to issues with drivers, hardware, or incompatible software that prevent the system from completing the upgrade. Here are the common causes and their explanations:

1. Outdated or Incompatible Drivers

Drivers, especially for critical hardware components like storage devices, graphics cards, or network adapters, may be outdated, corrupted, or incompatible with the new version of Windows.

2. Conflicting Third-Party Software

Software like antivirus programs, disk encryption tools, or system utilities can interfere with the upgrade process, causing the system to fail during the FIRST_BOOT phase.

3. Insufficient Disk Space

Windows requires sufficient free space on the system drive for temporary files and to complete the installation process. A lack of space can lead to this error.

4. BIOS or UEFI Settings

Incorrect BIOS/UEFI configurations, such as Secure Boot being disabled or outdated firmware, can cause issues during the boot phase of the installation.

5. Corrupted System Files

Damaged or missing system files can interfere with the upgrade process, preventing Windows from properly initializing in the FIRST_BOOT phase.
