Over the past week and a half, I must have tried about ten times to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. My first attempt was when Microsoft actually offered the upgrade through Windows Update. I got the INVALID DATA ACCESS TRAP BSOD at 29 %. At the second attempt,, the BSOD cam at 86 %, with the message 0xc1900101 - 0x400D error during MIGRATE DATA upon the SECOND BOOT. After that, Windows Update did not again offer to upgrade. I downloaded the ISO, ran it through Virtual CloneDrive. No luck. I downloaded the ISO to a USB drive, no luck either. I searched for solutions and tried all sorts of things that were suggested at various sites. I ran CHKDSK, SFC, DISM. I reverted the default user folder locations (such as the 'Documents' folder) to the C drive. Nothing worked. I disconnected my Microsoft (!) webcam and turned off my printer. All to no avail. I tinkered with DDU of Windows Repair Tool. I don't know whether it did anything, but all drivers were reset to default ones.
I gave up, reconnected my webcam, turned the printer back on and moved the default user folders back to the D drive. Somebody suggested running in save mode before upgrading, but that did not work either. Then I tried one last thing, which wasn't suggested anywhere. And I got the upgrade to succeed. What I did was changing the system configuration through msconfig to starting up selectively, with only loading system services and startup components. I disconnected from the internet.
After the upgrade completed, I was not able to connect to the internet, so I rebooted after changing back to starting up normally through msconfig. All I got was another BSOD. I used my Macrium Reflect recovery environment in order to restore this morning's Windows 10 system image. That did not work on account of 'insufficient disk space'. Eventually, I managed to get Reflect to repair the (what it said was) the Windows 10 boot loader. When I restarted, I found Windows 11 in all its glory. I connected to the internet and ran Windows Update. Since then I have changed some personalisation settings and have rebooted half a dozen times. Everything is working well .… I have successfully created another system image and I am creating another system recovery disk. But this last thing has now been running for three hours and still hasn't finished.
