Yes, it's mentioned in the original post "Attempts have been made with secure boot enabled and disabled."

Well I'm going to thank you for your assistance and your patience but I am going to leave this laptop on Win 11 23H2. I have wasted just too much time. I have now tried every suggestion made by you and others on this thread and I still get the Inaccessible Boot Error and have to do the...

@zbook I have been doing some reading and have come across a couple of ideas. 1) After the update fails and I get the inaccessible boot device message, it seems that one option would be to insert my USB stick with a Windows Recovery Environment, go into advanced options and try to use the...

The BIOS on this laptop is pretty basic. At the moment there is no supervisor password set and you only get at extra options by setting one. Chipset driver reinstalled using the file off the Acer download site PS E:\downloads-for-installation> .\hvciscan_amd64.exe VbsGetIssues...

Well I am doing an in place upgrade using the ISO from MS. I have run it many times both by mounting the ISO and expanding the ISO. The only difference is that this video bypasses the HW checks to force installation. My HW is all modern and compliant so at this time I don't believe it will alter...

I have found this procedure to rebuild when identified installations are shown as zero. Is it correct? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/total-identified-windows-installations-0/52359f87-de4a-41dc-b0c3-cc275e1d9fbf

Verifier run with all tests, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e9QbenRpuN6hu0_22EoWASJamUs-VYtv/view?usp=sharing This message of "Boot drive not accessible" on the BSOD is intriguing me. It's making me think maybe I should recreate the EFI partition as per this procedure which I haven't yet...

I will run a test but I don't expect it to make any difference. According to the Microsoft site the standard procedure is to mount the ISO either doubleclicking or rightclicking and selecting mount. I've done in-place upgrades from a mounted ISO many times. I will also try disconnecting from the...

Well, it still fails to install but this time it was different. As usual I mounted the ISO Windows 24H2 Portuguese Single Language and ran setup. This is on the second SSD. After installing the BSOD was BOOT Device not accessible and I had to hold the power key to get it to turn off. Then...
