Over at Ten Forums I'm trying to fix a 1 year old Dell laptop running Windows 8.1 Home which fails to upgrade to Windows 10.
One person reported that when running the command bcdedit /export <file> it fails with the error message "The store export operation has failed. The handle is invalid" Windows 10 installed when this problem was fixed but the solution posted is unclear.
I get the same bcdedit error message. Hopefully Windows 10 might install if I can fix it. What steps can I take to repair my Windows 8.1 boot configuration without screwing up the PC? Note the PC boots fine and bcdedit /enum reports the correct details as shown below.
