From what I've seen, Oh man, that sounds super frustrating, especially when your PC should be compatible. Those errors can sometimes point to driver or file corruption issues. I'd be happy to help you walk through a few steps to try and get this sorted out. Let me know if that works.

Same here. Have you tried running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check your RAM?

Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11? My PC meets the requirements, but the install fails and now I get random BSODs even during normal use. The most common error codes are `CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED` and `KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE`. I’ve run the Windows Update troubleshooter, but it didn’t help. Any ideas on how to fix this or safely roll back?

Can confirm. Yeah, and before you do that clean install, try running "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt as admin to fix any corrupted system files.

Same here. You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB drive instead of the in-place upgrade. Good luck!

I had the same problem. For me, a clean install from a USB was the only thing that finally fixed it.

Agreed. This happened to me too. Rolling back my overclock and updating my BIOS first made the upgrade work without the crashes. Good luck!

I had the same problem. For me, it was a driver conflict with an old peripheral; unplugging my drawing tablet let the upgrade finish cleanly.

Thanks! I ran the tool and it said there were no problems, but I'm still getting the same upgrade error. What should I try next?

I'm experiencing this too. Would love to know if anyone found a fix.
