Windows 10: Can't get into safe mode and stuck in a blur screen loop when trying to upgrade to Win 11

I have tried to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and during the upgrade my pc blue screened and now it is stuck in a loop of "undoing changes made to your computer" for around 10 minutes before blue screening again and restarting. I have seen there is a potential fix by going into safe mode however I am unable to access safe mode because when the initial loading circle pops up and I start to hold down the power button it already loads into the undoing changes screen before the pc powers off. On the occasion I can power it off before it loads this screen, on the next restart the pc automat

Stuck in Windows 10 Upgrade

My computer seems to be stuck in a Windows 10 failed upgrade loop. I was running fine on a beta version of Windows 10, and then I came downstairs one morning to see it repeatedly booting, attempting to repair, then rebooting. The steps I've taken to diagnose are:

• Attempting to boot off a USB drive (with all drives disabled in BIOS) - this fails at the point of the blue windows screen
  
• Attempting to boot the machine itself and getting into "repair/safe mode" using F7
  
• Looking at the BIOS for obvious failures (e.g. RAM that should be there is missing) - nothing obvious is wrong.
  

I am fairly certain the build version was 9926. For many months, the system would attempt to upgrade, and then say "it failed" for some reason and roll back.

Suggestions for next steps?
