You could also try temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus software before running the upgrade again.

+1 Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Also, make sure your drivers, especially chipset and storage, are fully updated from your manufacturer's site first. Let me know if that works.

Agreed, those driver updates are key. Also, try temporarily disconnecting any non-essential USB devices before starting the upgradeāsometimes that weird error pops up if there's a peripheral conflict.

Yeah, You could also run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to see if it can automatically fix any underlying issues. Another option is to manually download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft's site and run it directly.

Agreed, the troubleshooter is a good first step. One extra tip: if you're still stuck, temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus during the upgrade can sometimes clear those weird errors.

Yeah, that antivirus tip is solid. Also, try unplugging any non-essential USB devices before you run the upgrade againāsometimes that helps. Hope that helps.

You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant directly from Microsoft's site, bypassing Windows Update. Good luck!

Yeah, that assistant tool is way more reliable. Also, double-check your drivers are up to date, especially chipset, as that can cause that weird error code. Let me know if that works.

+1 Oh, and have you tried running the PC Health Check app again after a clean reboot? Sometimes that clears the glitch. Good luck!

You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant directly, as it sometimes bypasses the setup's own checker.
