Windows 11 22H2 Upgrade from Windows 10

I recently attempted to upgrade my Windows 10 system to Windows 11 22H2, but I encountered several issues during the process. The upgrade either failed to complete properly or caused various problems such as system instability, driver conflicts, or missing features, and I am seeking advice or solutions to successfully upgrade without losing data or functionality.

    Make a clean install if the in-place upgrade failed. Also make sure this PC meets all Windows 11 hardware requirements.

  • Ensure your system meets all Windows 11 requirements. 

    When you see upgrade failed, is there any error message/code you can share?

    Also, let us know if you're upgrading via ISO, Installation Assistant tool or Windows Update?

    The upgrade path is often unstable.

    Back up your data and perform a clean installation of Windows 11 instead. This is the most reliable method.
