Thank you Mr. Carmack for all your help in trying to solve this error. I was able to resolve this error with the following steps:

First I went to C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log which shows all errors when trying to update/install windows on your computer. (You may have to enable hidden folders)

Next, I searched up the log error (i.e. 0xc000024) and I found that it had to do with the registry key “PortableOperatingSystem”. [I suggest that you check that your error is the same one as I had before you follow the next steps and if it is different, try researching what other people did to resolve your error]

=====================================================================================================

Finally, I went to the registry editor and went to this path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control (click "control")

If your PortableOperatingSystem is a QWORD key and you have the error “Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 11. Please close Setup and try again.” when running the Windows 11 ISO setup.exe, then you probably have the same error as I did.

To fix it: delete the PortableOperatingSystem key by clicking it, then right-click and delete.

Then create a new DWORD key with the exact same name (PortableOperatingSystem) and set the value to “0”.

Then run the setup from the ISO file again and it should work!

Thanks again Mr. Carmack for your time!
