How to fix setup problems installing Windows 11

If you plan to use one of the available installation tools, the Windows 11 setup may stop unexpectedly with the error code 0x8007042B 0x4000D or 0x800700B7 0x2000A, which could indicate that another process is conflicting with the upgrade.

You can close the process in question and restart the setup to resolve the issue. Using a clean boot to restart the setup or remove the app causing the problem could help continue the installation.
