Windows 10: Windows 11, version 22H2 wont install

I was told to start a new thread for this issue, so here I am. Windows 11 22H2 has been trying to install for months on my HP Envy laptop and it fails every time.

Windows 11 version 22H2 Install error - 0x800700a1

Yes, I have run all of the troubleshooting ideas but none of them changed anything.

I downloaded a new version of the Media Creation Tool. These were the steps it showed on the screen after running the ISO:

1. Getting updates
   
2. Making sure you're ready to install
   
3. Ready to install
   

Within 10 seconds of clicking "install", I get the error message: "Windows 11 installation has failed". I don't know where to find a log that will give more information. What else can I try?

When checking on something else, within Control Panel I looked at "System Information" and I saw hat it shows "Windows 11 Pro version 21H2". My udpate is trying to install version 22H2. Is that a problem?

Edit: If "Package_for_KB5015684" is shown in the listing as "installed", then the ISO is a Windows 10 22H2 ISO.
