A quick note to share the tweaks I used to upgrade a VirtualBox Windows 7 VM to Windows 10 after many attempts to get around update error C1900101-20017. Simply thought I'd share my experiences in case others are struggling with the same frustrating issue.

In the end, I THINK the following VM System settings got past the error:

Just a quick entry here because this error drove me nuts for quite a while - I hope it helps. |
