batch ensure full compatibility with windows 11. like i stated, if you are compatible it wont make a difference.. if something somewhere isn't, it will allow the upgrade.

device manager > network adapters > your network card (realtek, intel, etc). re-enable it once upgrade is done

You mean to not have internet access ? I can disable the wi-fi and and remove the ethernet cable.

should end with a powershell window that has text highlighted in green that says it was successful, correct? once that window closes after 5 seconds, you can disconnect internet and run the iso setup to upgrade

Just try my instructions or tell me to come at your place and do it.

I tried and failed with this message :

I also didn't succeed at my first attempt to upgrade my main PC (2nd system specs) from 23H2 to 24H2. To make sure no device or application will affect the upgrade, I disabled ALL startup applications (Task Manager, Startup section) and all non-Microsoft services. Press WIN+R to open a Run box and type msconfig. Then go to Services tab, check the box to hide all Microsoft services and uncheck the boxes to disable all other services. I then loaded Device Manager (search for it and click to open) and disabled all devices non needed for the upgrade, such as LAN, sound, my TV tuner card, Bluetooth etc. I then removed my wireless USB dongle to disconnect from the internet and run setup /product server to bypass compatibility check. This time it succeeded!

This message in English says it failed because it could not determine if you have enough free disk space to proceed. Move your downloads and videos to another drive to free space. You need at least 20GB+ free to upgrade.

First it goes at 100% , and at the reboot gives the error at 23H2.

Many error messages one receives are most time vague and catch-all. On MS site it states that particular error is a catch-all error. You must look at the upgrade log to get the actual failure. The phase where yours is failing is exactly where mine did...the phase where window.old is created. As was stated, if you do not have enough disk space to create window.old, you will get this message, but that's not the only reason.

I tried all the stuff that has been suggested here, but you'll go around in circles if you don't look at the log. In my case, the error log output which is in Microsoft speak, kept repeating the word 'duplicate profile' with not much more info for me to go on. Sure enough when I went to the registry \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
4 different user accounts were using the same profile.

I tried creating a new user and manually deleting the additional profiles and all the normal trouble shooting steps. I even restored 5 different old images, but it still failed so something else in the registry still prevented the upgrade. I finally spent 20 hours clean installing,recovering data, and getting the system back like it was.
In particular, the following log files are created when an upgrade fails during installation before the computer restarts for the second time. You have to look at these logs to get an idea of what's causing the failure. I found mine in
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.err

C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\setupact.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\miglog.xml
C:\Windows\setupapi.log
[Windows 10:] C:\Windows\Logs\MoSetup\BlueBox.log
C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.app.log
C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log
C:\Windows\panther\PreGatherPnPList.log
C:\Windows\panther\PostApplyPnPList.log
C:\Windows\memory.dmp

The following log files are created when an upgrade fails, and then you restore the desktop:

C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\setupact.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\miglog.xml
C:\$Windows.~BT\sources\panther\setupapi\setupapi.dev.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\sources\panther\setupapi\setupapi.app.log
C:\Windows\memory.dmp

The following log files are created when an upgrade fails, and the installation rollback is initiated:

C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.err

1) I dont have duplicate profiles
2) Current installation is 90GB and the disk is 500GB. So , no space problem
3) Have you some suggestion ?

Neither did I.....except in the registry. I'm telling you straight up, you have to look at the logs.

Yes, I forgot to mention I uninstalled Explorer Patcher and disabled all other customizations like Open Shell, 8gadgetpack, Mica for Everyone etc.

I'm not saying your issue is the same as mine, only that you will chase your tail if you don't look at the logs.
