  1. Can't upgrade from 11 home to pro. "Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade"


    I got a brand new computer today and it came with Win 11 Home. I went into System, Upgrade your edition of windows, upgrade in the Microsoft app, open store and purchased the Win 11 pro upgrade from the store. Every time I click install it shows, "Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade". I've ran all Windows updates. I've tried things from other threads like disc cleanup and deleting all of the files in the prefetch folder. Nothing is working.

    :)

  2. "We couldn`t create a new partition or locate an existing one."

    Try this:

    Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.

    Run diskpart.
    At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:

    list disk

    At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than "0" in the next command.

    select disk 0
    clean
    exit (to exit from diskpart)
    exit (to exit from the command prompt)

    That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as "Unallocated Space" as in the screenshot below.
