    Windows 10 upgrade can’t complete due to error: “Some apps need to be uninstalled.”

    HannesKleine, did you complete the steps that Edison Pus provided in this thread? If you did and that did not fix the problem, then your issue may not be related to this thread which is about a very specific error relating to a specific application mentioned
    in the error itself that is incompatible with the upgrade. In that case, you might try searching for your error code.

    Good luck!

    Error: uninstall HP Drive Encryption when upgrading to Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that while upgrading to Windows 10, you receive an error ‘HP Drive Encryption app needs to be uninstalled.’ I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



    Ideally, if the installation is blocked by an app that doesn’t appear in the installed applications list, it is likely that the compatibility checker is detecting a file that is associated with the app. In this case, we will need to delete the file
    to continue the installation.



    To find out which file is blocking the installation, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions by

    You may also download run this batch file to automatically perform the steps above:
    https://aka.ms/AppRPS
    (You should be prompted to download a zip file named AppRPS.zip)



    Let us know the results.

    However, if you are using
    Dell XPS 15Z L511Z
    , currently, the manufacturer provides drivers up to Windows 8. If we upgrade the computer to Windows 10, you might face some compatibility or performance issues on the computer.



    Let us know how it goes.
