Quick tip: Yeah, that specific error often points to a driver conflict. I'd try updating your chipset and storage drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website before running the upgrade again.

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 I get a **KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED** error. It sometimes blue screens during the process, or shortly after logging into the new desktop. I’ve tried the update three times now with the same result. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same here. Yeah, that error's often a driver conflict. Try booting into safe mode and updating your graphics and chipset drivers first.

Yeah, that's solid advice. Also, make sure any old antivirus software is completely uninstalled before you try again.

And if you're still stuck, try turning off any overclocking on your CPU or RAM in your BIOS.

Yeah, that's solid advice. Also, try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential USB devices before the upgrade, as those can sometimes cause conflicts. Let me know if that works.

Can confirm. You could also try running the Windows Update troubleshooter, as it can sometimes automatically fix underlying issues with the installation files.
