Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Window?

Agreed, and also worth running sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt to check for system file corruption.

Agreed. Yeah, that's a solid step. Also, try temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus before your next upgrade attempt—it can sometimes interfere.

Agreed. You could also run a system file check by opening Command Prompt as admin and typing "sfc /scannow" to fix any corrupted Windows files.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. For me, it was a driver conflict with an old peripheral; unplugging everything non-essential before the upgrade finally got it to stick.

Did you happen to check if any of your essential drivers, like for your chipset or storage, need a manual update from your manufacturer's website? Hope that helps.

You could also try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or USB devices, during the upgrade process.

Agreed, and one more thing—make sure you’ve got all your drivers updated, especially chipset and storage drivers, before trying again.
