I have carried out this upgrade process a few times in the past. I tried today, three times, and each time all appears to be progressing as usual but at the end of the 'blue screen' phase when I expect the setup screens I get this:
I have not seen this before and I have carried out chkdsk...
Thanks. I am comfortable with the command line from old DOS days and, latterly, Linux. All done now. Thank you everybody for the assistance.
I will be doing a clean install onto a new machine next week and you just reminded me about installing Windows in its own partition. I used to do this...
I was checking my disk layout and I see that, for some reason, I have two recovery partitions. Why would that be? Any other housekeeping tips would be appreciated, too. This is Windows 11.
Thanks for that. I understand frequency = every 24 hours to be a new point is created daily but in that context I do not understand 0 = unlimited. Could you explain what that means, please?
Thanks all. It appears to be because I had unencrypted my disk. I activated Bitlocker again and when it completed encrypting the in-place reinstall worked as expected.
