Dont let Microsoft boss you around and upgrade to Windows 11 even if your hardware doesn't meet the requirements. Just use the Flyby11 app, now with a major update!

- UI Overhaul: The user interface has been simplified significantly, especially for private home users, to make upgrades smoother and easier. This version carries the legacy tag. The old extended version, designed primarily for enterprise environments (with disk creation capabilities), is still available for download.
- Windows 11 ISO can now be dragged and dropped for an in-place upgrade. Flyby11 takes care of the rest.
- An ISO file is expected to be downloaded. You can either click the Microsoft link to manually download it, or continue using Fido. For this, check the second FAQ entry where you'll find the link to click, and Fido will take care of everything for you automatically.
- In addition to in-place upgrades, you can now patch any installation USB drive, provided it was created using Rufus. Simply click the "Apply Compatibility Patch to ISO" link and apply the patch to your previously created USB drive.
- The app includes fallbacks to other supported methods in case an option doesn’t work.
- Flyby11 no longer runs with admin privileges by default. When elevated permissions are required, the app will now ask for them via UAC (User Account Control). This applies mainly to PowerShell scripts and their execution - be sure to hit YES whenever prompted.
- A small FAQ section has been added, covering the most common questions.
Donations Welcome: If you've successfully upgraded, i'd greatly appreciate a small donation to support the development of Flyby11: Donate here.
Legacy Version (0.17): The previous 0.17 build for enterprise environments, which can still create installation media, is available for download here: Flyby11 v0.17.
