Don't try this unless you're brave and have a fresh backup (or a Copilot+ PC ).
The In-Place Upgrade actually worked.
I downloaded 26100.1586 from UUP Dump, and then did the In-Place Upgrade.
After it finished I check the OS Build. It was 24H2 but only 26100.1
So I went to Windows Updates.
The 24H2 WU for Insiders, failed.
So I tried the one for Copilot+ PCs. KB5041585. That one broke Windows.
It installed, but after the reboot, Windows Explorer and desktop icons were just flashing on and off.
Taskbar never showed up.
It's a GOOD thing I made a fresh backup before attempting this.
Things that changed after the In-Place Upgrade...
1. It added "Home" back into File Explorer (just above ThisPC). And the tutorial for removing "Home" didn't work.
2. It changed all my "classic" shortcut arrows to the huge default Win 11 arrows.
3. It made EDGE the default browser, which really upset Firefox.
4. It upgraded Notepad (which I didn't want).
5. Along with some useful image extensions, it added a few Apps, again. (made short work of those with REVO).
6. It added the Recovery partition back, after I had removed it on Win 11.
Those were all the changes I noticed.
Now I'm back on 22631.4037.

Short version... the In-Place Upgrade worked fine. The 24H2 Windows Updates didn't.
My CPU has the SSE 4.2 instruction set.
