How to fix Windows 10 error 0xC1900200 and 0xC1900202

While there could be a number of reasons you’re getting one of these errors, usually, it’s a problem related to hardware requirements.

The first thing you want to do is to make sure your device has enough available space to download and install the new version. Usually, you want to have at least 20GB of free storage. (You can use this guide to free up disk space.)

Second, and perhaps most important, make sure your computer meets the minimum hardware requirements.

These are the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 10:

• Processor: 1GHz or faster processor or SoC
• Memory: 1GB for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
• Hard disk space:  16GB for 32-bit OS 20GB for 64-bit
• Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
• Display: 800×600

There are a lot of ways to check the hardware configuration on your computer, but you can easily get the basic information by going to Settings > System > About to see the processor, memory, and system type.

Then go to Settings > System > Storage to see if there is enough storage available for the upgrade.

If you’re already running Windows 10, chances are that your device meets the minimum display and graphics requirements.

In the case, the computer doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, you can either upgrade your system hardware, or you may need to get a new device.
