Windows 10: Windows 11: Flyby11 enables upgrades on unsupported devices

Flyby11 is an open source script for Windows 11 that helps administrators upgrade a device to the latest release version, even if the computer does not meet all system requirements.

Microsoft released Windows 11 24H2 earlier this month. The new version brought more AI functionality and some other features, including Sudo for Windows or support for Wi-Fi 7.

The new version of Windows 11 is special, as it is the first version that blocks certain devices from performing an upgrade. While Microsoft did block direct installs or upgrades on unsupported devices since the very beginning, the release is the first that blocks very old devices from using bypasses to install the system.

Good to know: this particular change affects devices without SSE4.2 support. All modern processors of the last decade support these instructions. Still, earlier versions of Windows 11 can be installed on these devices.

All other unsupported devices can still be upgraded. Microsoft did make a few changes to the process as well.

Flyby11: open source tool to upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware




Flyby11 is designed to remove restrictions that prevent the upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 on unsupported devices.

It cannot be used for new installs, but if you want to upgrade, it is one of the tools that you may use.

The app offers all "working methods to bypass the restrictions for installing Windows 11 24H2 on unsupported hardware" according to the developer.

About the developer: Belim has created several open source tools in the past, including ThisIsWin11, Winpilot, or xd-AntiSpy.

Flyby11 supports two methods:

1. The upgrade via Server setup.
2. The upgrade via Registry modifications.

Here is how you use the app:

1. Download the latest version of the application from the project's GitHub website.
2. Extract the contents to the local system with a right-click and selecting "extract all > extract"
3. Run the app.
4. If you get "Windows protected your PC", select More Info > Run anyway.
5. Confirm the security prompt with a click on the yes button.

Select the first or second method. You may want to start with the first. Check the Fido script option, which is required to download the latest Windows 11 24H2 ISO from Microsoft.

Once downloaded, select the mount and run ISO option.

Follow the instructions until the upgrade is completed. If this method does not work, try the second method instead. The only difference is that you need to check the second method this time.

Note: It is a bit difficult to keep the descriptions for each method and item displayed on the screen, as it changes on hover. Just check one option and when you move the mouse cursor, make sure you do not touch any of the other options. This should keep the description and give you the option to use the scrollbar as well.

Closing Words


Flyby11 offers an easy option to apply workarounds to upgrade an existing Windows 11 device with unsupported hardware to the latest release. The main benefit is that you do not need to run commands manually or execute a batch file.

It furthermore automates the download of the Windows 11 ISO image. Experienced users may not need it, but inexperienced users may use it to upgrade in fewer manual steps.

The app does not support new installs on unsupported hardware.

Is your device compatible with the latest version of Windows 11? If not, did you use a workaround to install the newest version? Feel free to leave a comment down below.

let use allow the upgrading of windows11 on unsupported PC's

You can upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware using customized ISO files. These files work the same on unsupported devices as those downloaded directly from Microsoft on supported hardware.

Here are some steps to upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware:

1. Download the Windows 11 ISO file from the Microsoft website
   
2. Create a bootable USB drive or DVD with the Windows 11 ISO file
   
3. Boot your PC from the bootable media
   
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 11
   

You can also bypass the hardware checks by replacing the appraiserress.dll file in the Windows 11 ISO with the appraiserress.dll file from the Windows 10 ISO.

Here are some other things you can try:

• Disable requirements checks
  
• Bypass requirements
  
• Add AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU to the Mosetup folder in the registry, change value to 1, then run setup
  

You can check if your device meets the minimum system requirements by downloading the PC Health Check app.

Microsoft doesn't recommend installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. If you do, you might experience compatibility issues and your device might malfunction.
