Tried many times to update WIn11 23H2 to 24H2. Gets to a certain point and rolls back. Error 0x1900101. Tried so many things online, but this seems to be a generic error and it does not help. No clue where to turn to fix it at this point. Can someone help?

2025-03-18T22:03:18+00:00 All drivers are regularly updated. I have basically done this already. Why the hell won't the installation error generator be specific? I am lost. I'll go to the Dell page again, but I am sure it will not say anything needs to be updated.

2025-03-16T21:45:37+00:00 OK, tried this. This time I got a slightly different error:
0x1900101 - 0x40017
Installation failed in the second boot phase with an error during BOOT operation.

2025-03-16T18:11:20+00:00 Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
The most successful method to install version 24H2 is to use the Windows 11 ISO.
You will need at least 40GB of free space on your C drive for the update.
Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.
Click this link:
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...
to download the Windows 11 ISO
When the ISO file completes downloading
Disconnect from the Internet
Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.
Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed
Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.
