I'm currently testing out Windows 11 upgrades for an Enterprise environment and have run into a ton of issues. I discovered that our 3rd party anti-virus was causing conflicts, however even on clients with that removed I am seeing intermittent failures when attempting the upgrade from Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 11 23H2.
I've tried:
-Ensuring computer is up to date on Windows updates
-Ensuring PC meets Win 11 specs (CPU, drive space, RAM, etc.)
-Updating drivers
-Removing 3rd party AV
-Running Windows Update Troubleshooter
-Disabling drivers/features blocking migration
-Running DISM repair
-Removing a bunch of 3rd party apps
Attached are some of the resulting files from running setupdiag on one of the computers that has failed the update. If anyone could provide insight into what could be causing the issue, I'd be very appreciative. I've seen tons of different errors in tons of different places and have no idea which ones are actually causing issues and which ones I can ignore. I've seen similar problems on numerous different models of computers but they are all Dell in case that is relevant.

have you tried using the windows 11 upgrade assistant / Windows 11 Installation Assistant?
I have seen this issue in the past and using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant fixed the issue a few times in my case.
Yes I have and unfortunately it has not seemed to make a difference in my case.

Hello,
According to your description, I suggest that perform a clean boot firstly then upgrade to check.
If the issue still insists, using a Win11 ISO file to try to perform an upgrade installation.
Best Regards,
Hania Lian
Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried booting into a clean environment and then running the upgrade and that didn't seem to make a difference either. When I tried that though, I tried installing Windows 11 through the Upgrade Assistant and not an .ISO file. I have tried an .ISO install outside of a clean boot and that did not seem to make a difference either.
Update on further things tried, still no solution:
I don't know where to go from here really. I'll keep going through logs and seeing what I can find but I'm running out of ideas. The main error code I'm seeing is 0x8007042B-0x4000D and the problem is almost certainly a migration error, however I don't believe it is driver or local profile related as I've updated all drivers and there is almost no user data on this computer.
I recommend to try upgrading using Windows 11 23H2 ISO file.
I have been using the .ISO file. The install.wim file is custom as I extracted a version that only contains the version of Windows I'm looking to install. I couldn't get the ISO to work and switched to manually attempting the update via Windows Update or the Upgrade Assistant and got the same 0x8007042B-0x4000D error no matter what method I used.
