You could also try running the Windows Update Troubleshooter first, as it can sometimes resolve that specific error without needing a clean install.

Yeah, that's a good first step. Also, make sure your drivers, especially for your storage, are updated before trying again.

Agreed, and a quick tip: temporarily disconnect any non-essential USB devices, like printers or extra drives, before you run the upgrade again.

Yeah, that's a good call. Also, double-check you have all Windows Updates installed on Windows 10 first—that often fixes it.

You could also try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential peripherals, like extra monitors or printers, as they can sometimes interfere with the upgrade.

+1 I had the same problem. A system image gave me real peace of mind, since File History doesn't save everything like your installed programs.
