How long does it take to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using the Windows Update Assistant?
I used the Windows Update Assistant to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. After the installation finished, it prompted me to restart, but after restarting, the system has been stuck in a spinning loading loop and I can’t access the system. How long does the upgrade usually take? What should I do in this situation?

Under normal circumstances, a Windows 10 to Windows 11 upgrade via the Update Assistant typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your hardware speed, the amount of data being migrated, and your internet connection for downloading updates.
