Has anyone else had the upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 fail repeatedly? My system?

+1 You could also try creating a fresh Windows 11 installation USB and using the "Upgrade this PC" option from within Windows 10.

Agreed. Another option is to temporarily disconnect any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or printers, as they can sometimes interfere with the upgrade process.

Yeah, You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant directly from Microsoft's website, as it sometimes works better than the Windows Update method.

Agreed. Before you try that, have you checked if any third-party antivirus or VPN software is running and could be interfering?

Can confirm. You could also try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or printers, during the upgrade.
