Windows 10: Cannot upgrade Win 11 21H2 to 22H2.

Dell Inspiron8 GB Ram Pent Silver 4 Core 512 Gb SSD System Drive 1 TB SATA SSD Data DriveComputer is supposed to be capable of upgrade. Ran PC Health Monitor, Upgrade downloaded and installed. It then uninstalled on reboot with the following error. 0xC1900101-0x20004The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during the INSTALL_RECOVERY_ENVIRONMENT operation.I cannot see the update in windows update any longer. Will I have to create a USB to try again?. Any suggestions as to what may have cause the failure. I have not found any in a general web search.ThanksFrank Reynolds

Switching from Win 10 to Win 11

I suggest you do a drive image backup of your current win 10 drive.

I had some issues with Win 11 and I roll back using the Win10 image.

As you don't have a Win 11 supported CPU, you have to tweak the Win 11 installation files.

It is the same process to upgrade from win 10

 

Switching from Win 10 to Win 11

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be getting new MB and CPU when I move to Win11. And I always do system volume image backups after I successfully update Windows so no problem there *Smile.

Cheers!
