    This is because one of the system requirements is missing for Windows 11 24H2, which demands much more rigorous requirements than 23H2. That's why you can't upgrade Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2.

    The solution is to patch the Windows 11 24H2 ISO and start the in-place upgrade afterwards.

I had a similar issue when trying to upgrade Windows 11 23H2, error code: 0x80244018

My SoftwareDistribution folder was about 7GB in size, my PC was on Lan network, Proxy was set to automatic.

My solution was to switch to USB WiFi stick and then update, worked like a charm. Switched back to LAN and succssesfuly received latest 26200.7171 update. Hope this helps for you.
