Thanks @Ghot -- Hope a share link is ok: setup logs
@glasskuter -- I'm going to back up and this upgrade method. I'll report back. Have to buy a backup disk, so it will be at least a few days.
My laptop (Win 10 22H2) does meet Windows 11 requirements, but every time I try to upgrade, the upgrade fails. I have tried through Win Update, through the Windows11InstallationAssistant, and by running the ISO, and it's the same: Everything goes fine until the reboot, but then it starts up...
