Windows Me Upgrade Iso

[Mette Florida]

I have a business grade HP machine still running Windows 7 that came with the machine.
I want to update it now to Windows 10.
The main link on the MS site for downloading the Update (22H2 - -us/software-download/windows10) is giving me an error on both my desktop and laptop machines when I go to launch the exe it downloads:

If I download the "Create installation media" file, will that give me the same option to "update over Windows 7" the exact same way the Update link would (if it was working properly, that is)?

I recently upgraded my PC desktop to Windows 11. Dropbox worked perfectly in Windows 10, and when I upgraded my laptop to 11, it was seamless. On the desktop, I can access Dropbox through the web, but updated files from my other computers do not show up as updated when I load them into their usual application on the desktop! (for example, I can "see" an updated Excel file in the Dropbox viewer, but when I try to open it up in Excel, I only get an older file.) I think the Dropbox app is not loaded in Windows 11, but when I attempt to install the download (both the regular and the extended), I get an error message that the files needed cannot be accessed. Is this the problem? If so, how do I fix it? The Microsoft Store only has something called Dropbox for S Mode (I don't have S Mode, as far as I know). Should I use that? This is both confusing and frustrating. Help!

I suspect there's an issue with the Dropbox app. It is in the list of apps I can get to through the Start menu, but when I click on it, nothing happens. There's no icon for Dropbox on the Taskbar or in the Hidden Icons cluster.

I tried (several times) to download and install the Dropbox app from the Dropbox website. The download seemed to go properly, and it started to install, but then stopped, and I got an error message to the effect that the installer could not open the proper files.

I downloaded Dropbox for S App again, and opened it. The up-to-date files are there, much like on the Dropbox website, but when I try to open a file (for example an Excel file, using Excel), it's empty. If I look for the file through Excel, it's not the up-to-date file. This isn't the answer...

Yes. I can open the web-based Dropbox, and it's up-to-date. The problem occurs when I try to either access a Dropbox file from one of my Office applications (Excel, Word), or open a file from the web-based Dropbox into the Office application (in which case it does not load up, or I get the non-updated file from before I upgraded to Windows 11).

The link you sent me for getting out of S mode applied to Windows 10, not Windows 11, and I could not make sense of how to apply them to what I saw in my now Windows 11. If you think this really might be the issue, can you provide any instructions about what to do?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
