hi，

》》the following issues preventing windows upgrading:
this upgrade path not supported. please close setup , re-launch root of media or go , pick different installation choice.

i‘d suggest use single image upgrade without deployment tools and answer file. that check if image has broken.

if image good, please use image ,  system preparation (sysprep) tool upgrade windows.

best regards
