Unable to install Windows 11 - Getting BSOD

I've tried twice now to update to Windows 11. It gets through the initial download in Windows 10 just fine, but when it reboots and starts updating I get a BSOD: attempted write to readonly memory.


Rebooted, it failed and undid the changes. Tried again, same issue, but this time it attempted to recover the install, then failed. Repeated a few times (scaring the crap out of me, reinstalling OS is a pain) and finally undid the install like last time and it's back to normal.

 

I actually do want to try installing it, but only with the option to revert, so I'd really prefer it this method over a a fresh install.

 

See attached for screenshot.

    Hello 

    the most secure is to download the update assistant - it will leave your personal files and applications unchanged, the next step is to download the ISO , but do not write yourself down

    Update Assistant - does not work immediately!

      So the only thing I can do if the update assistant is bluescreening me is to fresh install?
