Yeah, and have you checked if there's enough free space on your C: drive?

Agreed, that's a common culprit. Also, try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential USB devices like printers or external drives during the install.

This. You could also check for any pending Windows updates and install those first, as sometimes a missing cumulative update can block the upgrade.

Can confirm. This happened to me. For me, it was a specific audio driver that was compatible with 10 but kept blocking the 11 install, even though it was "updated."

Oh, that's a good point—did you try uninstalling that audio driver before the upgrade?

Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Also, try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential USB devices before starting the install—sometimes they can interfere. Let me know if that works.

Agreed. I had the same problem. For me, it was a BIOS setting—I had to enable TPM and Secure Boot manually even though my hardware supported it.

Yeah, You could also try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or USB devices, during the install. Another option is to use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant instead of Windows Update.

This. Agreed, the Installation Assistant is usually more reliable. One more thing: if you have any third-party antivirus, try disabling it completely before starting the upgrade.
