I was just offered the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 11 in the Release Preview Channel. I gladly accepted the offer. The upgrade downloaded, then installed (seemingly 100%), and then rebooted. Windows came back up and it looked exactly the same as before. I checked Windows Update and I was again offered the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 11. I again accepted the offer, the upgrade downloaded, and the machine rebooted. When it came back up I wasn't surprised - the machine was still a Windows 10 Pro version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1263) machine.
I then tried a simple Windows Update, and rather than finding any updates Windows Update encountered an error. I retried finding updates many times, but I continued to get the error (0xc1900101). The option to upgrade to Windows 11 has disappeared.
I read that it might help to unplug attached devices. I did that for all but my mouse and keyboard and rebooted. Tried doing Windows Update again and got the same error (0xc1900101).
I went to the Insider Program, clicked on "Get Help," opened a chat, and then was directed to post here. Hope someone can help.
My machine is an Intel NUC with Core i7-10710 processor and 64 GB of RAM. It has Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0.

It would be great if this installation was successful!
This is the stable version of Windows11.

I searched for help on log files and found this. I found the two log files I am attaching here on my computer. Both of these files have several entries like this: "Abandoning.: The specified user does not have a valid profile. [0x000004E5]." Does that provide a clue to my problem and how to solve it?

Currently, another version has been released for your Insider channel - is it available to you after checking for the update?

I tried installing from within Windows Update, using the Installation Assistant, and also installing from a USB drive and it failed every time. I updated my drivers. I did chkdsk and sfc with no change. After doing a bit more internet research, I wondered if it was some sort of profile problem. I have some church management software that contains a database run by Suran server that creates its own profile. I uninstalled that server and then tried again and it installed without a hitch. I'm going to try and reinstall that server now.
