My new laptop won't install Windows 11 Insider Preview Feature Update 26220.7535
Good evening, everyone. It's been days since I've been able to relax, it's been one offset after another. I'm still reeling from seeing my old laptop die last week. I'm typing now on a new laptop, and exhausted after reinstalling everything. I'm having trouble installing the latest build listed above, and I can't access Windows Update Troubleshooter without that malfunctioning either. I've tried several remedies but none of them have worked. I get errors saying the partition isn't big enough to accommodate this build, when I have plenty of space to spare on this laptop. I understand others are experiencing the same frustration with this. I do not want to do a fresh install and start from point zero again, I've been losing enough sleep at night. I tried looking for a manual download on the Microsoft Update Catalog, but I found nothing yet to match this upgrade. PLEASE help me get this installed.
I figured it out a few days ago. Since none of the forums were honest enough to offer the solution, I discovered BitLocker was the culprit. After disabling it, I was finally able to install the latest Windows build.

Press Win + R, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Ensure the partition you're installing the update on is formatted as NTFS and has at least 20-30 GB free. If there's a recovery partition or other partitions, ensure the main system partition has enough free space.
Same thing happens to my computer. I had to roll it back 3-4 times already since the beginning of Dec. It crashes on boot up after install with a green flashing screen.
