Can't Do Repair Install (Win11, 23H2)

swerd · Feb 26, 2024

Hi everyone,

I just successfully did a repair install on my desktop PC, but when I try on the laptop I get a BSOD. The code I get is SETUP_FAILURE.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Cheers

Is this the Lenovo laptop or another computer?

What problems were there that lead to the in place upgrade repair?

What hardware was attached to USB ports during the in place upgrade?

Indicate the use of docking station, mouse, keyboard, etc.
