I am trying to install windows 11 on my computer. When I run the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, it says something went wrong. I have tried multiple times and it still shows the same error, 0xa0000400. I have tried troubleshooting a lot and nothing has worked. I am really confused about what to do next. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do to fix this?

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
Right-click the Installation Assistant, and choose Run as administrator. See if it clears 0xa0000400. If not, download the ISO file and perform a manual upgrade.
Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.
