I keep getting install failures (BSOD) for a computer running RAID 5 on LSI SCSI Controller 9271-8i when I try to upgrade Windows 10 to version 2004

After the BSOD, I'm reverted back to version 1909.

Windows Update said I was ready for the new version on 9/1/2020, but now I've had three failures.

    I was also experiencing BSOD (Storport.sys , DRIVER NOT EQUAL OR LESS) when trying to upgrade my Windows 10 1903 to 2004. As well as to 20H2.

    I also have LSI MegaRAID card installed (ASUS Pike 2208, which is effectively the same as LSI MegaRAID 9265-8i; Firmware Package Version 23.16.0-0021; Driver Version 6.714.05.00).

    Upgrading LSI card driver to 6.714.18.0 changed nothing by itself - the next installation attempt failed as well.

    But after I ran "Disk cleanup" with admin permissions (this removed "$WINDOWS.~BT" and etc), the next 20H2 upgrade attempt was successful.

    Thus, @Dale Kudusi is probably right about updating the driver. The correct firmware download link is this, it provides Version 06.714.18.00 for 9271-8i.
    (Note the sneaky "+" on the top of that page that actually allows to modify the search parameters.)

    PS Here's another my post with effectively the same info.

    May need to ask LSI if they plan to update the firmware and or driver.

    Hi,@Jeff Urban
    You could try these methods:
    Update your drivers from your raid provider.

    Perform a SFC scan:
    type sfc /scannow in the Command Prompt

    Install the update after boot to Clean Boot:

    Greeting everyone.

    I got the same issue of upgrading from 1909 to later build (2004 or 20H2); failing at the same storport.sys with AVAGO 9271-8i driver. BSOD and then rollback.

    The driver link provided by @i3v saved my days, just log in to say thank you.

    Definitely MS need to update their own driver in the ISO as well, yes it was working until build 1909 but not in later build. I have tried clean install with 20H2 media and it won't even start from the beginning (as people mentioned above already)

    BTW: I have the same BSOD error (Storport.sys) for LSI 9267 when trying to install fresh 64-bit 2004 or 20H2. However, everything is going well for x86 20H2 version. It seems we need to wait for a new Windows 10 iso...
