    You should backup (and especially clone/image) your main Windows hard drive before doing this procedure in case something happens during the upgrade process. I am going to make a video about cloning/imaging in the future that covers this, but if you need help in the meantime, please reach out to me via my website, beyourownnerd.com and I will be more than glad to help you through the process. NOTE: On 12-5-24, the fido.ps1 script that comes with FlyBy11 version 0.16 will now get a Gateway error when downloading the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft. To fix this, please watch this video from me: ua-cam.com/video/eXKgU0o4JSg/v-deo.html

    great presentation - clear and concise, thanks so much. I have 4 old PC's here for the kids that I'll have a crack at - the cost of buying new hardware is prohibitive to the vast majority of Windows users, not to mention the painful and timewasting muck around of going out and buying a new PC, dealing with config, backups, re-installing etc. and THEN having to get rid of the old machine. Some techheads probably drool at the thought of spending a weekend doing such an activity, but most people dread it 😃

    I was looking at spending $700 - $800 on a brand build because my 14 yo CPU didn't meet the Windows 11 requirements. Thanks to you, I'm now typing this reply from my freshly-updated Windows 11 PC running a Core i7 3770K 😀
    The only minor issue I ran into (like a few others have noted) was that I originally selected English (International) by mistake. This didn't allow me to keep all my files/apps/settings. I just deleted the iso file and ran the program again, this time making sure to select English (United States) as the language. FYI, it's the next selection UP from the default.
    Otherwise, everything worked like a charm. Thank you so much for this clear and concise video!
    BTW, if anyone is wondering if their old CPU has POPCNT, just run CPU-Z and look under 'Instructions.' If you see 'SSE4.2' you're good (must be dot 2. dot 1 is too old).

    I did two older computers using this method. On both it installed Windows 11 Pro even though both computers had Windows 10 Home. Don't know why, but it didn't give me the option to save my programs, so I had to reinstall them, but that was no big deal. Took me about half an hour to install the 10 or 15 programs I use. Both computers seem to be working fine and I'm getting Windows 11 updates. I think the Windows 11 requirements are just a scam to get people to buy a new computer.

      @BeYourOwnNerd  9 днів тому +1

      Thanks for the comment about my video. Much appreciated. 🙂 Yes, Windows 11 can only be installed on top of Windows 10 (you can't upgrade to it directly from Windows 7). You could also install Windows 11 from scratch as a new install, but you wouldn't have the apps, settings, or files you currently have installed. Your files could always be backed up ahead of time and restored manually, but your software would need to also be re-installed manually, too.

    It should always be noted that of ALL unsupported processors, as long as you have SSE4.2 support you will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2. If you don't have SSE4.2 instructions on your processor, you won't be able to upgrade Windows, because SSE4.2 is now included in the Windows coding.After the first restart of the computer, you will get the blue screen of death... And there is no going back...I speak from first hand experience. I have an Asus Rampage Extreme with a 9550 at 4.1GHz processor and 16GB of RAM, and Windows 10 works flawlessly. But the max I can install is 23H2.

      No, you shouldn’t need to do this again during your time using Windows 11. You should continue receiving both security and feature updates unless Microsoft decides to make a change.

      Windows 11 is not currently more secure than Windows 10 because 10 still gets the same security updates as 11. Windows 11 is faster when it comes to gaming. Windows 11 is faster with 12th gen and newer Intel processors (and newer AMD processors) because it utilizes the P-cores and E-Cores of your processor. Google “Thread Director”. 😎

    Instead of using some sketchy software you could just do some simple registry edits.
    I upgraded to Win 11 as soon as I could. Never looked back. And with 24H2 it's faster than ever. Although with 24h2 there's some compatability issues with older hardware (4 gen Intel positively has some issues for some machines but 6th and 7th gen I've had no issues with). For some reason it seems enabling virtualization in bios makes it better should you encounter some issues.

      ​@@LawrenceWolofsky Since this is happening, the Windows upgrade procedure/process is unhappy about something.
      1. Are your "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" directories on your C:\ drive?
      2. Are you selecting the correct language in the "Fido Feature Downloader" window (6:20 minute mark in the video). The language in this window must match the default language of your current version of Windows. If you have the "English" edition of Windows currently installed, make sure to pick that from the dropdown in the window because the "Fido Feature Downloader" defaults to English International.
      3. Do you have any specialized software or hardware drivers installed that you think Windows may not like during the upgrade to Windows 11 procedure?
      4. Is your Windows folder located at "C:\Windows"?
      5. Do you have enough available hard drive space on your C: partition?
      6. To check for disk or file inconsistencies, Please run a "chkdsk /f" and "sfc /scannow" from a command prompt. After both commands run, did it find and correct any errors?

    Very nice video instructing on updating from Window’s 10 to 11 on unsupported Hardware!!!
    I would say that many of these types of video’s don’t explain about needing UEFI for the Bio’s and the partition needs to be GPT and not MBR on the boot drive, from my understanding.
    Looking at updating a couple computers 1) Laptop which passes everything for security and TPM, however the processor i7 is unsupported, 2) my very old i7 2600K which does not pass any of the ‘new’ requirements and has MBR as the partition and not GPT, thus will need to convert the partition with various software (looking at Aomei Partition Assistant) which can achieve this step or convert back if it should fail to boot.

The software does make it just easier for the conversion and mis-entering the wrong command. However, as I said it is my understanding that to update to Windows 11, the partition on the System drive needs to be GPT not MBR and the UEFI BIOS verse ‘Legacy’ mode and just pointing out some other requirements when moving to Windows 11 which could be needed for the process.

      2. Are you selecting the correct language in the "Fido Feature Downloader" window (6:20 minute mark in the video). The language in this window must match the default language of your current version of Windows. If you have the "English" edition of Windows currently installed, make sure to pick that from the dropdown in the window because the "Fido Feature Downloader" defaults to English International.
      3. Do you have any specialized software or hardware drivers installed that you think Windows may not like during the upgrade to Windows 11 procedure?
      4. Is your Windows folder located at "C:\Windows"?
      5. Do you have enough available hard drive space on your C: partition?
      6. To check for disk or file inconsistencies, Please run a "chkdsk /f" and "sfc /scannow" from a command prompt. After both commands run, did it find and correct any errors?

The main problem I have with 7 is that I can no longer upgrade the browsers to the latest version, which is required for security reasons for some services on the Internet. But the comparison with a new car isn't that far-fetched. When you buy a new car, service, warranties and repairs for 3-5 years are included. After that, you are not guaranteed assistance and must be responsible for the car's safety and repairs yourself. And many change their car after 3 years and others like me drive a car as old as my computer.

      @BeYourOwnNerd  28 днів тому +1

      Yes. To change from Enterprise to Pro, you must reinstall Windows 11 (you can't use the built-in reset option to change editions).
      But remember, you will lose all your current files, settings, and apps, so back them up first. And you will need to reinstall your apps (and copy your files back manually).
      The FlyBy11 main window has an option to “create Windows 11 installation media”. You will need to toggle that option and then use Rufus or something similar to put the ISO file it gives you onto a USB thumb drive. Then, you would have to boot off that thumb drive to do a fresh reinstall.

    Hi, this seemed pretty straight forward but I've run into a couple of issues, one I solved and I'll mention in case someone else has the problem and one I haven't solved. The first is that I kept getting an error after clicking start, it wasn't obvious because the error only showed in the log window but the result was that Fido never opened, I finally realized it was having trouble because by dragging the flyby11 files on my desktop the path includes my user name which had a space in it (c:/users/firstname lastname) when I moved the files to another location on my C: drive Fido was able to run. The second problem is now I am getting an error ("The remote server returned an error : (404) Not Found." when I click the continue button on Fido after selecting the Edition. Any ideas why? Thanks

    • @BeYourOwnNerd
      @BeYourOwnNerd  25 днів тому +1

      Hello. Yeah, the Flyby11 script does not like Windows user names with a space in it. I didn't notice that issue when I made the video because my username is only one word. As for the other error you are receiving, Microsoft recently changed their download location for the Windows 11 ISO files.

      Since this is happening, the Windows upgrade procedure/process is unhappy about something.
      1. Are your "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" directories on your C:\ drive?
      2. Are you selecting the correct language in the "Fido Feature Downloader" window (6:20 minute mark in the video). The language in this window must match the default language of your current version of Windows. If you have the "English" edition of Windows currently installed, make sure to pick that from the dropdown in the window because the "Fido Feature Downloader" defaults to English International.
      3. Do you have any specialized software or hardware drivers installed that you think Windows may not like during the upgrade to Windows 11 procedure?
      4. Is your Windows folder located at "C:\Windows"?
      5. Do you have enough available hard drive space on your C: partition?
      6. To check for disk or file inconsistencies, Please run a "chkdsk /f" and "sfc /scannow" from a command prompt. After both commands run, did it find and correct any errors?
      7. What antivirus software do you have installed?
