I recently upgraded my Alienware Aurora R7 desktop from a 1TB SSD to a 4TB SSD and had to set up a new Windows install. I followed the directions from Dell using their system recovery tool to create a USB book drive and it sets me up with Windows 10 Build 19041.264, which is obviously pretty old. Now the problem: When I use Windows Update, I go to reboot, and suddenly I get Kernel Security Check Failures. All the solutions I can find involve getting into the computer somehow but these show up extremely early, I can't even F12 on this boot cycle successfully. It fails with BSOD, reboots, fails immediately, reboots, and sends me to recovery. I try to load Safe Mode in various ways, same issue arises.
Is there a better way I can do this? Some useful way to clone my install? My old SDD is in an enclosure and I can boot from it by USB, which may give me options (can you move a system restore point, perhaps?).
In any case, I want the security updates and I have software that won't run on the old version of Windows, so how can I resolve this? How can I even investigate this?
