Issues with upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11

When running the Win11 Installation Assistant, it prompts that Windows 10 needs to be updated to version 2004 first. However, attempting to update results in a message stating that “Windows 10 Easy Upgrade is already running,” preventing the update from continuing. How can this be resolved?

Just do a fresh installation. Use Rufus to circumvent account, TPM etc.

In-place upgrades work, but whatever you borked up over the last years, also will persist. this is a good time for spring cleaning and re-consider if you need every application you ever installed.
