New Update Flyby11 enables upgrades on Windows 11 unsupported devices

[silversurfer]

is this for our information, or do you recommend this & have you have used it...??

Mainly for information, Flyby11 development continues...
I have no unsupported devices for W11, hence no user experience.

I suppose I could try flyby11 on VMware win10, but not sure that's a good indicator of what would happen on Host win10. (under consideration...)

Just try it out on the actual hardware. Make full system image backup of Win 10 install (which you should already have), try out Win 11, if it doesn't work out for you then you will be back to Win 10 in minutes.

Used it once and worked perfectly

good suggestion in theory, assuming (Macrium) full system image of Host, Yes theoretically I have, but I used to "test" things like that on a somewhat regular basis but NOT lately, so I SHOULD check my Host image anyway whether or not I try flyby11... but will I? It depends...

This is not some theoretical assumption; I have used this to test out AVs sometimes and then went back to the previous image. Restoring Image backups have never failed for me (but I do run Full Images checks every time after a backup is completed).

I have heard some experiences though on forums/reddit that it does fail sometimes but very rarely. If you don't trust your backup solution, then check for yourself, if it works or not.

Edit: made it more clear

You're right! I used to restore from image on a somewhat regular basis, but not with macrium but with terabytes image_for_dos -- the assumption is that I currently have a good image, maybe...

Flyby11 version 1.5​

• I've localized the app, and it can now be translated by anyone. This makes the app more accessible, especially for people who might not be fluent in English.
  A machine-generated German translation is included. Simply download and unzip the file in the "Assets" section, then place it in the same directory as the Flyby11.exe. If you'd like to contribute translations, you can find the necessary resource files on GitHub: Locales. You can also use Hakan's translation tool to assist with the process
• Added a link to a survey to see how many users have successfully upgraded to Windows 11 using the app. The survey is hosted on GitHub and is completely optional. The app itself collects no data. You can find the survey here: GitHub Survey Link, or use the in-app voting link.
• Some minor code refactoring has been done, particularly regarding the previous classification of the app as a HackTool by Microsoft, which was removed in version 1.2 (available here: 1.2.112).

As of now, I haven’t received any new updates from Microsoft or the users.

thanks, I am following this thread but still not convinced to use this, (yet)... fwiw github is showing 24 "issues" 9 people used it and it looks like it failed for 2 of those 9.

Flyby11 version 1.6​

• In addition to the ability to add an ISO via drag-and-drop, you can now directly select an ISO from your computer using a link. Note: If an ISO is added via drag-and-drop, the app must not run in admin context (this is a restriction by Windows, not me).
• Certain unsupported ISOs are now blocked and excluded
• Fixed a bug that could prevent ISOs from being mounted if they contained spaces in their names
• The app is now available in English, German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Turkish
• All language bundles are now included directly with the zipped app. You can now download a Flyby11.zip instead of a Flyby11.exe.
• Added a link to a survey to see how many users have successfully upgraded to Windows 11 using the app. The survey is hosted on GitHub and is completely optional. The app itself collects no data. You can find the survey here: GitHub Survey Link, or use the in-app voting link.
