@outdatedclient, Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Updating Your HP Notebook 15 to the Latest Windows Version!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution. 

If you're facing issues updating your HP Notebook 15 to a newer version of Windows, here are some troubleshooting steps and resources that may help:

Check Compatibility: Ensure your HP Notebook 15 meets the minimum requirements for the version of Windows you are trying to install. You can check the system requirements on the Microsoft Windows website to verify compatibility.

Windows Update:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
• Click on Check for updates to see if there are any updates available for your current version. If available, follow the instructions to install them.

Use the HP Support Assistant:

• Launch the HP Support Assistant from your desktop or by searching it in the Start menu.
• Check for updates specific to your HP Notebook 15, including BIOS and driver updates, as these can often resolve issues with Windows upgrades.
  

Windows Media Creation Tool:

• Use the Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft to create a bootable USB drive and perform a clean installation of Windows.
• Ensure your important files are backed up before using this method as it may format your drive.

Free Up Disk Space:

• Ensure there is enough free disk space on your system drive. Windows updates require some free space; clearing unnecessary files can help.

Troubleshoot Windows Update:

• Use the built-in Windows Update Troubleshooter by going to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot and running the troubleshooter for Windows Update.

Reset Windows Update Components:

• Sometimes resetting Windows Update components can resolve update issues. Instructions on doing this can be found on the HP Support website. 

Hope this helps!

Take care, and have an amazing day!
