how can I investigate this without forking out $$$ to Micros**t
from windows 11 system event log: today
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000004e (0x0000000000000007, 0x00000000004d420e, 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\021624-37796-01.dmp. Report Id: af82ef39-64d8-405d-a293-0f0bc1a6fb9e.
I looked at the .dmp file with wordpad but it was all gibberish. Seems like I am hitting something like this every day now for the past week or so.
I did purchase Norton Utilities Ultimate last week, and it did clean up a bunch of crap on my computer.
maybe it's time to run SFC /scannow.

Seems like it did something:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Is this a clean installation or an upgrade?
If an upgrade, is there any way you can do a clean install?

no not a clean install, it's been my laptop for about a year, rather not do a clean install.
I've been dealing with Windows upgrades since 1995, and always hit issues on upgrades that get resolved with a clean install. Stuff just breaks with upgrades, so I never upgrade. I just get a new laptop with the OS it installs with and ride that to the end of that laptop's life.
