Hi Pilot11187,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. I'm sorry to hear about the issue you encounter when upgrading to Windows 11.

May I know what is the specification of your Surface Go 2 (RAM and ROM storage)?

How much free space is available on the C drive of the device?

Have you tried running the PC Health Check App? Click to download the app: http://aka.ms/getpchealthcheckapp

May I know where are trying to install Windows 11? Is it through Windows Settings or by using the Installation Assistant (Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com))?

To answer the question if an SD card is an option: No, since Windows should be installed on the C drive of the device.

Please try first to free up some space on the C drive of the device by moving some of your files to your SD card or an external drive.

Hope this helps.
