    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    You can use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant tool to download and install the latest updates for your system.

    Windows 11 Installation Assistant Tool direct download link

    If the installation assistant failed, you can perform an in-place upgrade using the ISO file.

    Download the Windows 11 ISO file from the official Microsoft website:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

    Once the ISO file is ready, mount it and double-click Setup.exe to begin the upgrade.

    All of your files, apps, and settings will be preserved during the upgrade.
