    The most successful method to upgrade to Windows 11 is to use the Windows 11 ISO.

    Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

    You wil need about 40Gb of free space on your C drive.

    Click this link:

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

    to download the Windows 11 ISO

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.

    Very Important - ensure you select the option to keep your files and apps.

    Click your Start Button, then just type winver and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting dialog box.

    Also, how much free space do you have on your C drive.

    Thank you for that information, I do not see any problem indicated on your system, your Windows 10 is fully up to date and you have plenty of free space, if you have followed those exact steps, and that process continually fails, then, you may need to either reset Windows 10 while keeping your files and then perform the upgrade to Windows 11, or clean install Windows 11 using a bootable USB.
