    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some help upgrading to Windows 11 22H2. I have waited and tried to force an update using Windows Updates but no luck. I tried upgrading with Windows 11 Installation Assistant, which gave me a blue screen, then a boot loop. I had to restore from backup, which is why I'm here now asking for help.

    I am on Windows 11 Pro 21H2, OS Build 22000.2360

    If you need anymore information, please let me know.

    Sounds good. This is what I had planned on doing but wanted to make sure there wasn't an easier way to update before I did. Thanks.

    Did you first try upgrading the usual way, by mounting the 22621.xxxx ISO in explorer and running setup.exe?

    Use a native vhd to dual boot to 22xxx, w/o destroying your working installation.

    There is a chance 22xxx will bsod in your specific PC even if freshly deployed/installed, so better to check first before doing something stupid.
