We couldn't update the system reserved partition
If the PC doesn't meet requirements, system should give the exact requirement which was not met or give more information. Just this screen won't help. And this is not upgrade from 10 to 11. Its just update to latest build.

The free space is not enough in the reserved partition. You need to expand the partition or delete fonts from the partition.
Usually, this kind of error occurs because the system reserved partition (where boot configuration data is stored) is too small or needs to be updated to accommodate the new build. Sometimes, the update process just assumes everything is fine without letting you know if, say, there’s not enough space or if there's a configuration issue. The whole "screen won't help" thing can be really annoying when you're just trying to get everything up to date.
Hello,
It seems you're upgrading to Version 24H2, as there were reports of this error being seen before the upgrade.
