Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Window?

I had the same problem. For me, it was a driver conflict with my older antivirus software that didn't play nice with Windows 11.

Can confirm. This happened to me too. I had to do a clean install of Windows 11 after a failed upgrade, and that finally fixed the constant crashes.

Yeah, that clean install did the trick for me as well. One extra tip: make sure to disconnect any non-essential USB devices before you try the fresh install—sometimes they can interfere. Hope that helps.

Agreed, and I'd also run a quick memory diagnostic tool just to rule out any RAM issues that the upgrade might have triggered.

This. Yeah, and after that, you should check your drive health with something like CrystalDiskInfo, as failing storage can cause those exact errors.

This. I had the same problem. For me, it was a BIOS setting—I had to disable a legacy compatibility mode to get the upgrade to finally stick.

Same here. This happened to me too. A clean install from a USB drive was the only thing that finally fixed it for me. Hope that helps.

This. Did you try running SFC and DISM to check for system file corruption first?

This. Yeah, and after those, did you happen to check for any pending driver updates, especially for your storage or chipset?

Can confirm. Also, have you tried running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to rule out RAM issues?
