    Thanks for sharing your build details.

    Since you’re on Windows 11 22H2 (Build 22621.3880), the only way to move directly to 24H2 is by performing an in-place upgrade.

    If you haven’t tried this yet, here are the steps:

    • Go to the Windows 11 website: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
    • Under "Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)", select "Windows 11 (multi-edition ISO)".
    • Once the ISO is downloaded, right-click on it and select "Mount", then click on "Setup.exe".
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control, in which case, click on "Yes".
    • In the "Install Windows 11" dialog, click "Next".
    • Setup will check your PC and display a license agreement. Click on "Accept" to proceed.
    • Wait for the setup program to check for available free space.
    • On the "Ready to install" page, ensure that "Keep personal files and apps" is checked.
    • Click "Install" and follow the prompts.

    Windows 11 will restart your device several times and lead you to the lock screen. Depending on the options you set, it will keep all your files, apps, and user accounts.

    Performing this In-Place Windows 11 upgrade should help resolve the error you're encountering.


    Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions or concerns.
