Can Not Upgrade my computer to Win 11
The recurring upgrade failure with error code **`0xC1900101 - 0x30018`** indicates a critical **driver or BIOS incompatibility** during the system specialization phase (`FIRST_BOOT`), common on gaming laptops due to specialized hardware. To fix this, you must **prioritize updating your ASUS ROG laptop's BIOS** to the latest version available from https://www.aessuccess.com.co the ASUS support site, as this often contains firmware fixes necessary for Windows 11 compatibility. Additionally, **temporarily uninstall all non-essential third-party applications**, especially any **ASUS utilities (like Armoury Crate)** and third-party antivirus, as their low-level drivers frequently conflict with the Windows 11 installation kernel. Once the system is cleaned and the BIOS is updated, attempt the upgrade again using the **Media Creation Tool's `setup.exe`** from within your running Windows 10 desktop environment.
