Until we found Neosmart Technologies software, EasyRE. Googling seemed endless and, for the first time, unhelpful. After several attempts, we received numerous failures.

With this error code you also get the option to load UEFI Firmware Settings, which just takes us to your BIOS UEFI Boot Manager. When you look up the error code through Microsoft, you get the standard fix of loading the recovery disk and try to repair the start up disk. Our research also indicates that other users have experienced a similar problem with upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Others are finding this issue when downgrading from 10 to 8.1 as well.įrom our research we found that error code 0xc0000098 has to do with the Windows Boot Configuration Data File, also that it does not contain a valid OS entry. Upon reboot we were greeted with a blue screen of death (BSOD), with the error code 0xc0000098. We ran Windows Update and it installed our graphics driver. Once it finished, the PC rebooted and we were without a graphics driver.

We persevered, and continued to upgrade a second time. When we first upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, we noticed a problem off of the bat as Windows failed to update to 10 on the first try. Actually, we highly recommend that prior to any Operating System upgrade that you back up everything … we mean it! Unfortunately, we didn’t listen to our own advice, but luckily we had some help from Neosmart Technologies and their Easy Recovery Essentials (EasyRE) Software. However, not every upgrade can go as smoothly as you would hope. It’s quick, slick and down right awesome compared to it’s predecessors. If you haven’t made the upgrade to Windows 10 yet, we highly encourage you to take that step. Windows 10 is well upon us and we have pleasantly made the upgrade.
