Agreed. Another option is to temporarily disconnect any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or printers, as they can sometimes interfere with the upgrade process.

Yeah, You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant directly from Microsoft's website, as it sometimes works better than the Windows Update method.
