This stuff does not come with a "money back guarantee".

We can only cover the high points and "hope for the best".

It may mean the install process looks a bit empirical.
And takes more than one try to get right.

On the Optiplex 780, I tried to Upgrade install
Win10 21H2 to 22H2. The install ran for an hour and
rolled back. I didn't have any evidence as to what
exactly happened, but on a hunch, I put in a different
video card, and the install completed. That is an example of
something the "Health Check" did not catch.
