Hello

I never had any problems with my PC .

Windows 11, version 24H2 update is ready to install, I approve the restart, it starts working, stops at 68% for 5 minutes, then restarts and turns off PC. When I booth back, it simply wants to download it and install it again.

Troubleshooter shows Error but offers no solution.

I have downloaded the ISO and followed all instructions, but 26% in, the installer just stops all goes back to windows and says Windows 11 instalation failed.

Any ideas?

    I installed the big 24H2 update on my computer (HP 470 G9 laptop, Windows 11 Pro).

    It failed several times at first, when I tried to install it in several different ways!

    Here are the different steps:

    1) It originally appeared for download on Windows Update on Nov 22. I tried to download it 2 times – the download always stopped at 8%

    2) It appeared again on Windows Update on Dec 15. Now the download and installation proceeded to the end – but then the installer started automatically undoing the changes made to the computer --> reverted back to v. 23H2

    3) I then tried installing from the ISO file --> failed (for some reason it reported a problem with the installation language (?) --> could not select the option at all: “Keep my files and apps”

    **4) The update finally went well and without any problems with this method:**💻👍👍

    Windows 11 Installation Assistant

    I would like to emphasize that this is one of the three official installation methods recommended by Microsoft!

    Microsoft: This is the best option for installing Windows 11 on the device you’re currently using.

    Note! It is important to note that in order to proceed the installation process, everyone must first pass the WindowsPCHealthCheck (which can be launched from the link at the top of the downloaded Windows 11 Installation Assistant -application window)

    HERE IS A GOOD YOUTUBE VIDEO OF USING THAT! I hope this will help somebody:

    Hello…

    I am trying to reinstall my entire computer cos my motherboard went for a toss.

    My current system specs are on par with windows 11 requirements. Should I attempt a direct windows 11 install or update from 10. Both ways I am not able to proceed and getting stuck with errors. Also I am trying to update directly as soon as windows 10 was installed. Should I update all drivers and bios update and windows update and then try to update to windows 11.?.

    Well you are suppose to stick to the authorised updates from Windows rather than Intel BUT if using the ISO don't take the suggest route. You are advised not to.

    Suggest you try with your old drivers then adjust up. Once 24h2 is installed it does a driver update, but updating before can lead to incompatible drivers. It shouldn't do but can. Had that one.

    Then you have the incompatible memory driver test on the second boot. If it fails that it won't tell you the problem. That's where running the compatibility test identifies the issues.

    It's a question of passing boot 1, then boot 2. Like snakes and ladders.

    Get multiple error codes - telling I have too little space (which was true, but have cleaned up and still not working) - and telling I don't meet the requirements. Your suggested program ran a check first that told I did meet the requirements, so this is also just bullsh*t.

    And yes. I am sure I have 23h2. 100%. The suggested solutions on any pages does not work. I resign.

    I think I figured out the reason for your 24H2 installation failure with the Windows 11 Installation Assistant:

    Your computer did not pass the WindowsPCHealthCheck for some reason (?), which you need to pass FIRST!

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    But ... then there is another option, which I used on my SECOND laptop (Lenovo) successfully!

    I updated Oct 18 on my old and "incompatible" Lenovo💻the big 24H2 update without any problems - it took 1 h 28 min to install the update!

    It is introduced by replacing the entire operating system with a newer version and is the biggest Windows 11 update since 2021.🤔

    My Lenovo has been purchased already in 2016.

    I downloaded the installation file**: Win11_24H2_Finnish_x64.iso (5.29 Gb)** from the official Windows 11 download page:

    Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com) (3rd installation option)

    So … I downloaded the "virtual disk" or *.iso file (press the downloaded *.iso file with the right mouse button and then select "open in application" and then select "Resource management" and then click SETUP) and install from it - **everything succeeded perfectly!**😁👍

    TO BE CONTINUED ...:🤔

    My Lenovo's (Ideapad 310-15IKB) new Windows 11 version (24H2) got 2 more updates right away after installation --> Windows Update (SCREENSHOT).

    I then tested a lot of functions and applications for a few hours (e.g. Microsoft 365 Office (paid), F-Secure Antivirus (paid), New Outlook, Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Lenovo apps, etc.)

    **Everything worked fast and stable = normally!**👍
