Windows 10: Unable to keep files, apps, and settings during Windows 11 Upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade my computer to Windows 11. Health Check says that I'm all good to go. However when I get to nearly the final step of installation and it asks me what to keep, it only allows me to select Nothing. It says "Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept because you're installing an edition of Windows that's different than the one you're currently using" I've done sfc scans and DISM clean up. Ensured I'm fully up to date and have no idea what's going on.I've even removed my computer from using WSUS so that I can update straight from Microsoft.I've tried using the installation

Setting defaults by app

I need help to understand how do set ALL supported file formats to associated app.
In Settings > Default Apps > Defaults by app > APP > Manage I get overlong list of file formats, most of them unassociated.
I don't find any method how to select them all and assign them to this App. In Windows 8.x it worked this way I have detailed list with sorting and multiselect capabilities. That list in Windows 10 is dummy and unable to assign other way than selecting App from drobdown for each format. Is that smarter list from Windows 8 really gone?
