ok. I managed to get around and decided to do a clean install of windows10 first, updated all the drivers and then windows update. The fist 2 rounds were ok. Now it says "you're not up to date" and " your device is missing important security and quality fixes".
I have pressed "check for updates" and nothing new showed up even after reboot. And still the "you're not up to date" persists.
I have also cleared dns cache. ran dsm tool for image repair, cleared windows update cache, but no help.
Any advice ? And yes I also see the message "Windows11 version 24H2 is ready" message.

you can backup your driver folder and then do a clean install of Windows 11
that way if you require any drivers they are available from the backed up driver folder.

best of luck, Steve ..

you will need to download the Windows 11 English international ISO
all Widows ISO's are multi editions.

best of luck, Steve ..

I don't know what to expect for downloads from Canada. This seems to be the appropriate site: Download Windows 11

If all else fails, you may be able to get an ISO from uupdump.net. The download is reasonably fast, but the script's build of the ISO on the download PC takes quite a while.

yeah that is the correct site. I also tried the MediaCreationTool and also got some weird Error. Why the heck is Microsoft blocking Canadians ? This never happened with Windows10 and earlier. Thanks bobkn I looked at uupdump.net but probably at the last resort. Thinking of trying now the Windows Installation Assistant directly on the laptop, not sure if it gives me anything weird ...but so far it is working step3 of 3 Installing...

installed . now on win11. doing windows update, so far so good. If everything works fine, that's good enough for me, just don't want anything to break. A lot more bloatware in win11 so i'm going to get rid of some of them. Many thanks all. Its working fine. I'm happy.

I wouldn't call it bloatware exactly. You can turn various things off to get rid of login screen ads to settings eg. I'd see how it all functions first before starting to remove things! Many pre-installed programs just sit there doing nothing. In settings you can set any you don't want to "Never" run in the background. Otherwise they are "power optimised" - which isn't bad.

try Revo-uninstaller free it works wonders on removing unwanted software.
