Normally 20H2 to 22H2 does not require a clean install.
  - no significant hardware system requirements between the versions
Conditions that might cause it:
- Windows system image needs repair (DISM command line option)
- Windows component store needs cleanup (DISM command line option)
- Windows Update broken/corrupt
- Windows Update engine out-of-date
   => May 2023 KB5026361 last release 20H2 update is required(LCU and 
SSU)to update to 21H2/22H2
- Windows 20H2 does not have June 2023 KB5027389 stand-alone(not included 
with monthly LCU/SSU update) Windows 10 Compatibility Update(includes the 
Windows Recovery Update)and is deployed/installed separate update via 
Windows Update or the MSFT Catalog. Note June 2023 was also the first 
monthly update(LCU, SSU, SafeOS) that included the WinRE update for Win10 
21H2 and 22H2
- Device using Legacy MBR and not GPT(more common on older devices) where 
System partition is on the o/s partition
- Device using GPT with no Recovery partition, or deleted Recovery 
partition, Windows partition not resizeable/shrink to free space to 
create WinRe partition, WinRE partition, if present, insufficient free space.
- lesser issues(Graphics driver, Network driver outdated, stand-alone 
graphic card no longer supported or outdated driver); device has both 
onboard graphics and add-on graphics card with add-on enabled/onboard 
disabled[in some cases, BIOS/UEFI disabling the add-on and enabling the 
onboard will allow the 22H2 to be successfully installed]; 3rd party 
utilities that modify Windows; 3rd party AV/AM; end-user 
tweaking/removing main Windows integrated programs(Edge, Defender)
- Windows Photos(rare case but a known issue) app package removed or 
uninstalled.

Other routes to update
  - instead of using Windows Update or UBS media or ISO to update, use 
the  the Win10 22H2 Update Assistant(download the exe from the Windows 10 
Software Download site - 'Update Now' option.'
  - download exe file is 'Windows10Upgrade9252.exe
  => may be necessary to check the exe file's properties and unblock the 
exe and/or run the exe as admin
