Hi, before anything, I'm not an English native speaker so apologies in advance for any future bad syntax.
First thing at starting up I got a "your pc isn't fit to install Win11" even before I could start my session, then I tried to play a game from xbox app on windows 10 but it couldn't even start.
When I tried to start the app instead of the game i got an 0x80070422 error, googled it and found out that is an error related to Windows Update.
Next thing I tried was to apply any update missing, and the only one that was listed was the KB5034441 cumulative update, but then again a Win11 related pop up appeared, so I looked into it and found out that my SSD drive was on MBR format and couldn't enable TPM 2.0
So I changed the partition format to GTP, then updated a (very) outdated BIOS driver, thanks to that I could pass the win11 check.
I believed that with this out of the way, Win Update would work again but it started giving me a 0x80070643 error, googled it again and found a "resolved" thead on another forum that used a script to give more space to the recovery partition because this update failed on every pc that has a space of 250 mb.. the thing is that my partition has +-500 Mb, and it didn't fix anything.
Other solution was to stop windows update service, delete everything from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, which has 784 MB so I thouth that this could fix it so I deleted everything there
As you can imagine, it's still not working, and failed again giving me the same error, but then I opened the ReportingEvents.log from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and it shows a different error here, a 0x8024200b
I finally took the hint that I should ask for help for my own situation instead of searching for similar cases becase it wasn't working, so here I am, kindly but also shamelessly asking for help
Thanks in advance!
PD: the script for upsacling Recovery Partition is

reagentc /disable
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
list part
sel part 3
shrink desired=250 minimum=250
sel part 4
delete partition override
create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
list vol
exit
reagentc /info
reagentc /enable

Good news.. because it's now able to use win 11 it allowed me to update directly to Win11 without the KB5034441 update, and that fixed everything.. well except that I didn't wanted to change the SO but I can't complain, everything works now
