    Hi Danny

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 11 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

    Please Note, follow the steps, this is then just an update and your files and applications will remain untouched.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Download the ISO from there.

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    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 to begin the upgrade.
