I'm at my 4th attempt win 10 > Win 11 upgrade

kfarrell · Nov 9, 2023

Lenovo T16. Have tried a lot of fixes including deleting the software distribution contents, restarting. All Windows 10 updates are good. Any tips / advise appreciated.
Currently at Step 3 of 3 Installing and it's stuck @ 90%
Internet connection is > 400 mb/s

Windows 11 assistant will reboot your computer to complete install. Restarts, login and nothing......

Have you tried in-place upgrade to 23h2 using ISO image which you can download from Microsoft website?

Download Windows 11

means what?
Black screen, red screen, blue screen, white screen, yellow screen, no screen?

Safe Boot possible?
setupact.log says what?

Restarted again, black screen working on updated 98%
Since 1998, I'd never fought so hard upgrading a computer. I've done thousands.

I used this one about 3 weeks ago & it still worked.

It's not a problem of unsupported hardware! Now you post from a different PC or was there a rollback?

Getting stucked at 98 % in many cases means that the new BCD entries can't be written.

It finished Finally. Was the CEO's computer and she had to leave at 1:30
Finished at 1:37
So glad I use MACS at home.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Did you do anything different to get the upgrade to complete? Or did it just require more patience?
