2. Switch to Services tab, scroll down and look for the services related to SQL, like the one; SQL Server VSS Writer I've highlighted in the below-shown image. Just Disable these SQL Services. Click Apply followed by OK.
3. Now try to install Windows 10/8.1, and this time it will install without encountering error 0x80070714. Once it is installed successfully, you can enable the services you've disabled in the above step.
