Drive space is plenty. All updates have been installed and antivirus is only Microsoft defender. This system is a VMware machine. I have teste on two different machines but none of them were able to be upgraded to Windows Server 2022.

The errors you are encountering during the in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022 indicate issues that are commonly related to insufficient disk space or conflicts with drivers and third-party software.

Error Analysis:

1. Error 0x80070070 - 0x2000C: This error typically signifies that there is not enough free disk space available on the system drive to complete the upgrade process. Ensure that you have enough free space on the operating system disk before attempting the upgrade.
2. Error 0x8007000B - 0x3001A: This error often occurs during the first boot phase, which can be caused by issues with drivers or hardware configuration. It may also be related to conflicts with third-party software, such as antivirus programs.

Recommendations:

• Check Disk Space: Verify that your operating system disk has sufficient free space to perform the upgrade. If more space is needed, consider expanding the operating system disk.
• Disable Conflicting Software: Temporarily disable any antivirus and anti-spyware software, as well as firewalls, before starting the upgrade process. Remember to re-enable them after the upgrade is complete.
• Driver Updates: Ensure that all drivers, especially for network adapters and storage controllers, are up to date and compatible with Windows Server 2022.
• Use Upgrade Assessment Tool: Run the Azure Virtual Machine (VM) Windows OS Upgrade Assessment Tool to validate the OS upgrade path and identify any known issues.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the errors and successfully complete the in-place upgrade.
