"Failed to create WinPE rollback directory" upgrading virtual guest from Win7 to W10

I am trying to upgrade a Virtualbox virtual machine guest from Win7 SP1 to Win10 using the Media Creation tool/iso. Amongst many other things, I have stripped down drivers/devices, removed non-present devices and ran removal tools for Acronis and Kaspersky. Not sure if Macrium has a remove tool.

I have tried to reinstall windows 7 keeping programs but this stalls at gathering settings etc. Windows 10 upgrade reverts to previous version at about 25%.

Win10 upgrade Setuperr.log in the Rollback folder says only:

The Setupact.log around that time stamp (not complete log) says:

I'm wondering whether it is boot sector related even though Windows boots.

I've spent a very long time on this, made lots of progress but I'm running out of options now.

Thanks for your reply @jcgriff2.

It can't stay as it is, it needs either a repair install of Win7 or an upgrade to Win10. A clean install is not an option.
