Windows 10: Windows 11 update error 0xc1900101

Hi, I'm currently trying to upgrade to Windows 11 on a Surface Pro 6, but keep getting the error 0xc1900101. From checking online, I've seen that this is likely caused by a driver error, but I am confused as to which driver may be causing this. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I've already retried this update several times through regular Windows update, and tried updating through setup.exe on a Windows 11 installation ISO.

Unable to upgrade one of the system to Windows 10 Update Error 0xC1900101 - 0x20004

Thank you for the reply. I read both of those threads already.

1. Resetting BIOS. I flashed BIOS to the latest version. Currently running default settings. No change.

2. Andre da Costa brings up a list of reasons. For error 0xC1900101-0x20017 he says refer to error 0xc000021a.

2a. Regarding his troubleshooting steps for error 0xc000021a. He says to wipe the drive and switch from NTFS to GPT. This is incorrect. If this was true, then no one could update from Windows 7 to Windows 10 without a clean install. Beyond which, I updated
my first desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when it was running Windows 7 on NTFS.

2b. Regarding his additional troubleshooting steps for error 0xC1900101-0x20017. He has a number of suggestions, such as disabling peripherals. I tried all of these for both .iso and USB installs. No luck.

Any other suggestions?
