Based my knowledge and what you've provided, I have separate a breakdown of what could be going wrong and whether your hardware is the issue.
So Is it your hardware (CPU) the problem?
-> No, your CPU is not too old to support Windows 11 24H2.
- Intel Core i5-10400 is fully supported by Windows 11 (introduced in 2020, 10th gen Comet Lake).
- NVMe SSD with 150GB free and 32GB RAM exceeds the minimum system requirements.
- So the issue is not hardware-related.
So about the error 0x8007000D mean
Code 0x8007000D is for "The data is invalid."
This error usually indicates that:
- Some system files are corrupt or missing.
- There's corruption in the update components or the downloaded update package itself.
Then I have some recommend for you to fix it :
- First thing to do is to clear the Windows Update cache
Because of the corrupt update files, they may be causing the failure.
- SO you need to open Command Prompt (Admin) and run:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
- Then you need to go to this folder path:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
- Then start delete all files and folders inside.
- After that get back in Command Prompt and run these commands:
net start wuauserv
net start bits
- Then reboot and try Windows Update again.
- You can use the In-Place Upgrade with Installation Assistant
If your Windows Update continues to fail, try these steps :
- Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
- This tool can re-trigger the upgrade while verifying integrity and compatibility, often succeeding when Windows Update fails.
- You need to check System File Integrity too
You will need to run these tools in Command Prompt (Admin):
sfc /scannow
Then wait for it to complete, and run this command :
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
->These can repair corrupted system components.
