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?

    mine is forcing it through the DVD Drive which my laptop does not have. any solutions i can do to fix this issue?

    Well a right click on the iso file as I recall, run as admin should produce a pseudo DVD drive. Fiddle with it. If C is the main, then you get a D... it's a feature. You don't need to do much else as far as the DVD drive, memory sticks and the rest. You might have to do a lot of other stuff to get it to install.

    Windows 11 version 24H2 will not install, and says my new HP EliteBook 650 G10 is not compatible with Windows 11-- even though it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I get a notification stating: "We couldn't update the system reserve partition." I've run both DISM and SFC, but no errors were detected. Any idea what the problem is?

    Hello Ramesh. Freeing up space on the system reserved partition did the trick, and I successfully installed Windows 11 version 24H2 without a hitch. Thank you for your assistance.
