    Is your device compatible with Windows 11?
    Are you trying to upgrade from Windows Update?
    Are there any pending updates in your Windows?

    Laserhorse Do you happen to have Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) implemented? I have found during some testing over recent days that I can pretty reliably kill Windows 11 with WDAC. This includes an upgrade from a Windows 10 build which is running perfectly fine with WDAC in place.

  • You need to check with PC Health Check app, if your system is compatible for Windows 11.

    If it is compatible, you can try upgrade via ISO file.
