Gigabyte has released a firmware update for its Brix mini PC barebone that should fix issues when installing Windows 10 on the device. Many users of the device complain that they are unable to upgrade their device to Windows 10.
The installation of Microsoft's latest operating system fails with a cryptic error message stating, "0xC1900101 - 0x20017 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation". It's unclear what's causing the issue, however a Gigabyte firmware update (.ZIP file) reportedly solves the issue.
Despite the many, many reports from Gigabyte Brix users, they are not the only one suffering from the SAFE_OS issue. Also PCs from Acer, Lenovo and Samsung are affected, however Gigabyte Brix appear to be the only consistent group of users that complains. It could be that the there is a single component that is in every Gigabyte Brix PC and in some PCs from other manufacturers.
