This video is the fix to my previous video: "Upgrade to Windows 11 on Old Computers WITHOUT Restrictions!" located at: ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html
Just updated my laptop. The script I downloaded had already been fixed so I followed your other video without having to apply the fix in this video. Worked great. Thanks for a very helpful video!
Now it dont come up with a iso mount in downloads that i can use so do you have any fix for that. And if i try to use the new FlyBye 11.exe link it starts but when i get to language and click that it comes up with a new tekst that starts with we were unable to comeplete your request and so on.any fix for that
Is this the ISO mount issue you are having? github.com/builtbybel/Flyby11/issues/41 As for the message about being unable to complete your request, Microsoft's download servers have temporarily blocked you. Please try it again in 6+ hours, and you will be unblocked.
You’re welcome. I still plan on making a backup tutorial video soon. Please subscribe and turn on notifications so you will be notified when its released. 😎
Just wanted to send a big thank you! It worked, & I love it so far. Have a 2013 Dell Laptop. Removed the hard drive & added a 1gig since the old was making a chatter sound. Said I couldn't upgrade but this worked. The only problem I had was trying to directly launch the win 11 program instead of going through the 7 zip program.
You are so welcome. I am glad this worked for you. Enjoy Windows 11, and I will soon have a video that shows you how to make Windows 11 look and behave more like Windows 10. 🙂
Unfortunately when I hit start, the third of the script reads as follow 13:47:58- & : The term 'C:\Users\Paul' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet.function.script file or operable program. and on and on
This is caused by an issue in FlyBy11 when the user name of the Windows Account has a space in it. To fix this error: Please create a directory named FlyBy11 in main root folder of your C: drive. For example C:\FlyBy11 Extract the files and Upgradier folder from the FlyBy11 archive into the C:\FlyBy11 folder. Navigate to that folder from your WIndows desktop, and double click the FlyBy11 executable file.
Hello can you maybe help i am getting these errors : 22:54:35 - Mounting ISO: E:\Windows 11\Win11_24H2_English_x64.iso... 22:54:40 - Mount-DiskImage : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '11\Win11_24H2_English_x64.iso'.
Can you open Powershell and issue this command to let me know the results?

To open Powershell, please Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box/window. Type powershell and press Enter.
You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment and great question. If you are currently happy with Windows 10, you can always upgrade in October 2025 before support expires. You will also have the option of paying Microsoft $30 for an extra year of Windows 10 security updates (that will extend your Windows 10 life span to October 2026). 🙂
@BeYourOwnNerd This is awesome! Your videos are so clear and easy to understand. I haven't done the upgrade yet because (as you recommended) I'm going to do an image backup of my drive first. I'm planning to use the last free version of Macrium Reflect that was available for that. I may be wrong on this, but it looks to me like the current version of the script (Flyby11 0.17) has resolved that Error 502 (ISO download error) as well as the "Gateway Not Valid" error. Is that correct? Thanks so much. I'm subscribed to your RUclips Channel and look forward to viewing more of your videos!
Thanks for the nice comment, and thanks for subscribing to my channel. I appreciate it. 🙂 Yes, Macrium Reflect (the last free version) is perfect for imaging your system. Yes, it appears that FlyBy11 has fixed the 502 and Gateway error with v0.17. Thanks for pointing that out. There are two other issues that my viewers have commented about: github.com/builtbybel/Flyby11/issues/39 github.com/builtbybel/Flyby11/issues/41 Issue 39 (where Microsoft blocks you from downloading the Windows 11 ISO file by giving you a scary popup message that you are banned/blocked), can be fixed by waiting 6+ hours if you get that popup message and starting Flyby11 again. Issue 41 concerns the failure to mount the Windows 11 ISO after downloading it. Two viewers have reported this issue, but I have not seen it myself. Hopefully, the developer of FlyBy11 will fix it soon, but I wanted to make you aware of it in case you run into either issue.
Should i select the same language as my current windows 10 which is not english or stick to the english usa as you show? If so, can i select another language after the upgrade is done? Thanks
Please make sure your language is correct. For example, if you are from the USA, please change it from English International to English (United States).
Hello, thank you for your work which is most helpful. I have followed your earlier video and installed Windows 11 on my PC, but tried the same method on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 -1JV which went smoothly up to the end, when a quick failure message appeared an disappeared within a second (too quick to read) I am guessing it was a fail message) it was black writing with a yellow background. Now when I press the power up button a blue light shows on the front edge of the key board, which is normal, but within a couple of seconds it goes out. I have tried removing battery and power and holding he power button for a while and reboot but with now effect. Do you have any suggestions please.
Let's try to see if we can get your Toshiba into recovery mode so we can try to restore your Windows 10 version. Please try this: You are going to power cycle multiple times to trigger the recovery options: Turn on your computer and immediately press and hold the power button as soon as the manufacturer logo appears. The computer should shutoff. Repeat this process 3 times. On the fourth startup, do NOT press the power button and you should see the Recovery Mode menu. Once in Recovery Mode goto: Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Go back to the previous version. Follow the on-screen instructions. You'll be asked to confirm that you want to return to Windows 10. If prompted, provide your Windows account credentials. Please let me know if this works for you.
Can you upgrade a Windows 10 computer with this method while keeping all installed programs and documents? How to check your old pc is SSE4.2 compliant?

@@BeYourOwnNerd I have the same problem, i can't find the ISO, it is not giving any errors, i have chrome and it takes like 1 second to download! I tried onzip this in open archive and the same problem is back! Can you please tell me what i can do?
@@silence28 I am not sure what the issue is. Can you please start a new issue report on the developer’s github page so he can fix the issue? github.com/pbatard/Fido/issues
Hi there! After following the instructions I get into the installation and then it is interrupted with a message simply stating: "The Windows Server installation has failed." my PC is unchanged no restarts or anything. Any ideas? I got so excited and then it just failed haha
I haven't heard anyone mention this issue in the comments yet. At what part of the installation process do you get this message? Is it after you opt to keep your current files, settings, and documents? Or is it before that?
@@BeYourOwnNerd Thank you so much for responding! It happens after I get through those preliminary menus and it goes to the blue screen. It says it is loading until about 20% and then it immediately closes and I'm back on my desktop with the error message. Also not sure if this is a problem, but when the blue screen portion comes up I am still able to access the start menu and all the programs I had running (I expected for the desktop/explorer to be inaccessible until the install finished and restarted because that's been my experience in the past). The message doesn't have an error code or anything, it just says "the Windows Server installation has failed."
@@galaxsija4591 The 20% mark is during the file expanding phase of the setup. Please open a command prompt (Windows Key + R, then type CMD into the run dialog box and hit enter) (You might have to do this right after that failed error message pops up during the install). In the command prompt window, go to this folder: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther (so you would issue this command "CD C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther" and hit enter in the command prompt). Then enter this command "notepad setuperr.log". Does a log file open up?
I fixed the 502 error problem and downloaded the ISO file after selecting English international language because I live in Australia. Tried to install but got the greyed out keep apps and settings. I closed the program, restarted and deleted the ISO before trying again, this time selecting US language. Now I'm getting an unauthorised error when attempting to download in either dialect. Any suggestions?
Yes. Microsoft has temporarily banned your IP address/session. You will need to wait 4+ hours and try again. Changing to a VPN will not fix this. Waiting is the only fix.
hi! thank you so much for making videos like these! i used your original video to try and download windows 11 and got to the setup screen and was told that my processor wasn't compatible. is there a way to bypass this issue? if not no worries i have a separate computer that has windows 11 on it already, i just wanted to try and get this older one up to date as well xoxox -jellimouse
You're welcome. 🙂 As for it telling you your processor is not supported, this is a recent change that Microsoft implemented with the latest Windows 11 24H2. Your processor now must have SSE4.2 support. Before, this wasn't a requirement for previous versions of Windows 11 (23H2 and earlier). Sorry.
@BeYourOwnNerd no worries! It is an old surface book 9 I think. I appreciate you even taking the time out of your day to respond. People like you keep me hopeful for society. Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 10 come October 25th 2025 correct? I'm a bit of a computer tech novice but would that mean the only way to run windows 10 would be through a VM? Would I still be able to use this laptop come October?
@@JelliMouse Thanks for the kind words. 🙂 You have a couple of choices to choose from come October 2025: 1. You can keep using Windows 10 without security updates (which I don't recommend if your computer is connected to the Internet). 2. You can pay Microsoft a $30 one-time fee to get security updates from Oct 2025 to Oct 2026 (this will give you an extra year with Windows 10). 3. You would need to buy a new computer. As for your VM question, you could run Windows 10 as a virtual machine, but you would still need a new system to run it on. And if you purchased a new computer to do that, you would be better off just using Windows 11 and forgoing Windows 10 as a virtual machine on your new system (unless you had a specific requirement that you still need to run Windows 10, for example, an older piece of software that won't run on Windows 11, etc). I hope that answered your questions. 🙂
Please refer to my original video on using FlyBy11. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html The section where you extract it (and the upgraider folder) is at the three minute and 19 second mark in that video. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html&t=199s
The "upgraider" folder comes from the FlyBy11 download/archive. Please see my original part 1 video: ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html You watched part 2 before part 1. Please watch part 1 first, then come back to this video and watch it again for the fix because Microsoft changed their download location for Windows 11 after I recorded the first video. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html
I am getting an error message from Microsoft saying We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities are band from using this service.
Microsoft has temporarily banned your IP address from downloading the Windows 11 ISO file. Please wait 6+ hours and try again. Also, when you select the different options in the Fido script portion of the video (language, edition, etc.), try to pick them with a 30-second pause between each selection. This will also stop Microsoft's servers from temporarily banning you from downloading.
@@virsli100 Please make sure that if you are using a VPN that you have it disabled. Microsoft won't allow downloading of their ISO files from active VPN connections.
I still wonder about my old CPU instruction set? Will Windows 11 function properly on the instruction set? MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T, Thanks =R=
What processor do you have? I don't see SSE 4.2 in your list, and you will need that. Microsoft changed their actual source/compiled code to not work with any processor lacking that instruction set with Windows 11 24H2. The previous builds of Windows 11 did not have that requirement.
When you say that it tells you the ISO folder didn't download, the Flyby11 script is telling you this in the status window? Can you reply and paste the exact error in a comment please.
the unfortunate part for me was , even though every setting regarding the csm and tpm were enabled in the bios , your program informed that my pooter was not supported even though it is a modern chipset , my 11400f processor is not supported even though intel states that it is , a third party app ran a scan on the proc , this proc is missing some micro code that is required , i will have to upgrade to the 11900F or KF to get windows 11 to install
Your processor is fully supported by Windows 11. You don't need Flyby11 to upgrade your Windows 10 to 11. You can do it directly from Windows Update in the Settings area of Windows. Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, then click "Check for updates"
@@BeYourOwnNerd already tried that , i clicked on the check windows 11 compatability icon , and it sent me to an outside website and page , it asked me if i wished to test the cpu , clicked yes , around 8 seconds later , a pop up screen appeared , this processor does not meet minimum requirements for windows 11 , checked around the web on google , it turns out other people with the same processor had the same result as me, the problem is , i do not know which website i was redirected to
@@davidrfowler6432 I see this processor on Microsoft's official AMD Windows 11 supported processor list: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors
@@davidrfowler6432 There should be no issue with the i5-11400F processor. It is on Microsoft's official Windows 11 Intel Supported CPU list: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
It would appear Microsoft have woken up to this process and are blocking it, after replacing the script as per here I now get "We are unable to complete your request at this time.Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service"
No. That error means that Microsoft temporarily blocked your IP address from downloading from their servers hosting the Windows 11 ISO files. Please wait 6+ hours and then try again. Also, if you have a VPN, turn it off. Microsoft does not allow Windows ISO files to be downloaded with an active VPN connection turned on. Also, make sure you image (backup) your system before attempting this upgraded to Windows 11.
Thanks will try again, no VPN is running, it's a standard Win 10 install and their Edge browser which might be the issue, will set Chrome or Firefox as the default to test. Perhaps our isp, a national provider is also running something in the background. The other issue is Australian English is not a language option so that may be a show stopper as well.
Everything went well from my end while upgrading to 24H2 from 22H2 till I right clicked to select "mount" the ISO. So I downloaded WinCDEmu to mount it, and install it.
getting a "We cant tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows Server. Try restarting Setup" - I have 120GB of free space. Any ideas why?
I haven't seen this one myself, but many Windows users encounter it when upgrading, and it could be caused by a number of different issues. To start, please do the following: Open Disk Management (Win + X → Disk Management) Check for unallocated space or unusual partition setups What is the size of your EFI System Partition?
@ I think it may because I have mbr and am dual booting to windows and Linux. I am currently trying the process on another dual boot pc and it did not give the error and is proceeding (I hope). The other pc is similar dual boot but a different mb and cpu. Not sure if that matters. I hope I’m not trashing the one it’s currently installing on! Edit: I successfully updated the other dual boot PC...back to attempting get the other now.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were already replying to my new video. If you get a permission error, Microsoft has temporarily blocked your IP address/session. You will need to wait 4+ hours, then try again.
I've already seen it. I forgot I had signed up for the MS Insider's Program. So when I upgraded using this method (upgrade worked flawlessly), Win11 eventually downloaded a preview version named [Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26120.2510 (ge_release upr) (repair version)]. Once it installed itself, a window popped up saying my hardware was not supported. It also had a button that said something like "Click Here to Fix." However, when I clicked on it, it brought me to the Windows Update setting w/ the same option to "Fix,," which opens the previously mentioned window. Seems like MS intends to prevent PCs with unsupported hardware from receiving future updates. I used this video to reinstall Win11 again, but that stupid file downloaded itself again (not yet installed). This was after I unenrolled from the Insider's program too. I paused updates for a week for now. I really hope you have a way to get around this.
@@racysheepWhen you say the file was downloaded again after reinstalling, do you mean the Windows Insider build was downloaded again even though you were unenrolled from the Insider program?
@@BeYourOwnNerd Yes. At least I thought so. I clicked on the link provided in Win Update to leave the program, and it appeared successful. I did this Before reinstalling 24H2 (keeping all settings/files etc). I thought that would be enough, but it still lists me as subscribed to the Dev Channel. But after about an hour of searching and trying various things, it appears the only way to leave that damn program is to install a fresh version of Windows (w/o keeping anything). And the file didn't actually download and install this time. I saw it pop up and was set to download so I paused updates for a week. Hoping for some good news soon ...
No go. Wish you would just do a new video with everything from start to finish. Here is the message I got. Error. We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities' & locations are banned from using this service etc. Now that I wrote this is appears it is downloading win 11 anyway. We shall see.
That error occurs when Microsoft temporarily blocks your IP address from accessing its download servers. It usually clears up in 6+ hours. Also, if you have a VPN, please turn it off. Microsoft does not allow downloading Windows ISO files with a VPN connection.
@@BeYourOwnNerd Thanks man. Even though I got the message it downloaded. I'm still debating whether to switch from win 10. What do you thing about 11? Willing to learn a new win but don't want to regret it.
@@pnew1537 You're welcome! There's no rush to upgrade to Windows 11 right away. You can stick with Windows 10 until support ends in October 2025. After that, you can upgrade to Windows 11 or pay Microsoft $30 for an extra year of Windows 10 security updates, extending support until October 2026. As for Windows 11, I personally love it. I've had no issues with it at all. While some people claim to dislike it, I haven’t seen any solid reasons behind their complaints. So far, it’s been incredibly stable for me, gaming performance is excellent, and I’ve have it running smoothly on at least five different machines. I am creating a new video that teaches anyone how to make Windows 11 look and behave like Windows 10. 🙂
Not true. Microsoft reiterated in an official blog post on Dec. 3, 2024, that TPM is still and always will be required for Windows 11. www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24312928/microsoft-windows-11-older-hardware-tpm-support

@@silence28 I am not sure what the issue is. Can you please start a new issue report on the developer’s github page so he can fix the issue? github.com/pbatard/Fido/issues
@@BeYourOwnNerd Thank you for your support, I have found another method that works perfectly for me and very quick as well Have a nice day!🙂
@@silence28 Nice. What other method did you use?
Hi there! After following the instructions I get into the installation and then it is interrupted with a message simply stating: "The Windows Server installation has failed." my PC is unchanged no restarts or anything. Any ideas? I got so excited and then it just failed haha
I haven't heard anyone mention this issue in the comments yet. At what part of the installation process do you get this message? Is it after you opt to keep your current files, settings, and documents? Or is it before that?
@@BeYourOwnNerd Thank you so much for responding! It happens after I get through those preliminary menus and it goes to the blue screen. It says it is loading until about 20% and then it immediately closes and I'm back on my desktop with the error message. Also not sure if this is a problem, but when the blue screen portion comes up I am still able to access the start menu and all the programs I had running (I expected for the desktop/explorer to be inaccessible until the install finished and restarted because that's been my experience in the past). The message doesn't have an error code or anything, it just says "the Windows Server installation has failed."
@@galaxsija4591 The 20% mark is during the file expanding phase of the setup. Please open a command prompt (Windows Key + R, then type CMD into the run dialog box and hit enter) (You might have to do this right after that failed error message pops up during the install). In the command prompt window, go to this folder: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther (so you would issue this command "CD C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther" and hit enter in the command prompt). Then enter this command "notepad setuperr.log". Does a log file open up?
@@BeYourOwnNerd yes i see the log file!
@@galaxsija4591 Please open it, and do a find/search for the keyword "error". What errors does it show you in the log file?
I fixed the 502 error problem and downloaded the ISO file after selecting English international language because I live in Australia. Tried to install but got the greyed out keep apps and settings. I closed the program, restarted and deleted the ISO before trying again, this time selecting US language. Now I'm getting an unauthorised error when attempting to download in either dialect. Any suggestions?
Yes. Microsoft has temporarily banned your IP address/session. You will need to wait 4+ hours and try again. Changing to a VPN will not fix this. Waiting is the only fix.
@@BeYourOwnNerd Tried again today, selected Eng.- US. and all was good. Thanks for the tips.
@@eaglebeak1924nice! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching and keeping me updated. 😎
hi! thank you so much for making videos like these! i used your original video to try and download windows 11 and got to the setup screen and was told that my processor wasn't compatible. is there a way to bypass this issue? if not no worries i have a separate computer that has windows 11 on it already, i just wanted to try and get this older one up to date as well xoxox
-jellimouse
You're welcome. 🙂 As for it telling you your processor is not supported, this is a recent change that Microsoft implemented with the latest Windows 11 24H2. Your processor now must have SSE4.2 support. Before, this wasn't a requirement for previous versions of Windows 11 (23H2 and earlier). Sorry.
@BeYourOwnNerd no worries! It is an old surface book 9 I think. I appreciate you even taking the time out of your day to respond. People like you keep me hopeful for society.
Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 10 come October 25th 2025 correct? I'm a bit of a computer tech novice but would that mean the only way to run windows 10 would be through a VM? Would I still be able to use this laptop come October?
@@JelliMouse Thanks for the kind words. 🙂 You have a couple of choices to choose from come October 2025:
1. You can keep using Windows 10 without security updates (which I don't recommend if your computer is connected to the Internet).
2. You can pay Microsoft a $30 one-time fee to get security updates from Oct 2025 to Oct 2026 (this will give you an extra year with Windows 10).
3. You would need to buy a new computer.
As for your VM question, you could run Windows 10 as a virtual machine, but you would still need a new system to run it on. And if you purchased a new computer to do that, you would be better off just using Windows 11 and forgoing Windows 10 as a virtual machine on your new system (unless you had a specific requirement that you still need to run Windows 10, for example, an older piece of software that won't run on Windows 11, etc). I hope that answered your questions. 🙂
I get an "Upgraider directory does not exist" error message when I try to run FLyby11... Pleas help
Please refer to my original video on using FlyBy11. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html The section where you extract it (and the upgraider folder) is at the three minute and 19 second mark in that video. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html&t=199s
Where did the upgrader file come from? I don't seem to have that file.
The "upgraider" folder comes from the FlyBy11 download/archive. Please see my original part 1 video: ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html You watched part 2 before part 1. Please watch part 1 first, then come back to this video and watch it again for the fix because Microsoft changed their download location for Windows 11 after I recorded the first video. ruclips.net/video/AsY4xUD7ZLg/видео.html
I am getting an error message from Microsoft saying We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities are band from using this service.
Microsoft has temporarily banned your IP address from downloading the Windows 11 ISO file. Please wait 6+ hours and try again. Also, when you select the different options in the Fido script portion of the video (language, edition, etc.), try to pick them with a 30-second pause between each selection. This will also stop Microsoft's servers from temporarily banning you from downloading.
@@BeYourOwnNerd I am waiting for a day and then wating 1 minutes before continuing at every fido field, but I still have this error
@@virsli100 Please make sure that if you are using a VPN that you have it disabled. Microsoft won't allow downloading of their ISO files from active VPN connections.
I still wonder about my old CPU instruction set? Will Windows 11 function properly on the instruction set? MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T, Thanks =R=
What processor do you have? I don't see SSE 4.2 in your list, and you will need that. Microsoft changed their actual source/compiled code to not work with any processor lacking that instruction set with Windows 11 24H2. The previous builds of Windows 11 did not have that requirement.
Hello, its a Intel© Core™2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz × 2. I think you may have to have an Intel i5 or later to get the needed instruction set? Thanks!
@@rawd59 You can check with CPU-Z. if you see SSE 4.2 (must be dot-two) listed under Instructions, you're good.
I have a dual boot Ubuntu 22.04/Windows 10 setup with GRUB as the bootloader. Can I use this procedure to upgrade to Windows 11.
I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. But I would do a full backup image of your current hard drive first.
Nope mine still tells me the ISO folder didn't download
When you say that it tells you the ISO folder didn't download, the Flyby11 script is telling you this in the status window? Can you reply and paste the exact error in a comment please.
the unfortunate part for me was , even though every setting regarding the csm and tpm were enabled in the bios , your program informed that my pooter was not supported even though it is a modern chipset , my 11400f processor is not supported even though intel states that it is , a third party app ran a scan on the proc , this proc is missing some micro code that is required , i will have to upgrade to the 11900F or KF to get windows 11 to install
Your processor is fully supported by Windows 11. You don't need Flyby11 to upgrade your Windows 10 to 11. You can do it directly from Windows Update in the Settings area of Windows. Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, then click "Check for updates"
@@BeYourOwnNerd already tried that , i clicked on the check windows 11 compatability icon , and it sent me to an outside website and page , it asked me if i wished to test the cpu , clicked yes , around 8 seconds later , a pop up screen appeared , this processor does not meet minimum requirements for windows 11 , checked around the web on google , it turns out other people with the same processor had the same result as me, the problem is , i do not know which website i was redirected to
i also found out that the amd 5600x proc is not supported either
@@davidrfowler6432 I see this processor on Microsoft's official AMD Windows 11 supported processor list: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors
@@davidrfowler6432 There should be no issue with the i5-11400F processor. It is on Microsoft's official Windows 11 Intel Supported CPU list: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
I would appreciate if you could make a video of how to make an image back-up of the computer drive.
I'm planning to make a video about that soon. 😎
It would appear Microsoft have woken up to this process and are blocking it, after replacing the script as per here I now get "We are unable to complete your request at this time.Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service"
No. That error means that Microsoft temporarily blocked your IP address from downloading from their servers hosting the Windows 11 ISO files. Please wait 6+ hours and then try again. Also, if you have a VPN, turn it off. Microsoft does not allow Windows ISO files to be downloaded with an active VPN connection turned on. Also, make sure you image (backup) your system before attempting this upgraded to Windows 11.
Thanks will try again, no VPN is running, it's a standard Win 10 install and their Edge browser which might be the issue, will set Chrome or Firefox as the default to test. Perhaps our isp, a national provider is also running something in the background. The other issue is Australian English is not a language option so that may be a show stopper as well.
Everything went well from my end while upgrading to 24H2 from 22H2 till I right clicked to select "mount" the ISO. So I downloaded WinCDEmu to mount it, and install it.
getting a "We cant tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows Server. Try restarting Setup" - I have 120GB of free space. Any ideas why?
I haven't seen this one myself, but many Windows users encounter it when upgrading, and it could be caused by a number of different issues.
To start, please do the following:
Open Disk Management (Win + X → Disk Management)
Check for unallocated space or unusual partition setups
What is the size of your EFI System Partition?
@ I think it may because I have mbr and am dual booting to windows and Linux. I am currently trying the process on another dual boot pc and it did not give the error and is proceeding (I hope). The other pc is similar dual boot but a different mb and cpu. Not sure if that matters. I hope I’m not trashing the one it’s currently installing on!
Edit: I successfully updated the other dual boot PC...back to attempting get the other now.
Thanks voor the movie !!!

Sorry, I didn't realize you were already replying to my new video. If you get a permission error, Microsoft has temporarily blocked your IP address/session. You will need to wait 4+ hours, then try again.
followed instructions still gets error
What error message/number are you getting?
@@BeYourOwnNerd I got it working What I did I went to REGEDIT and eliminated all occurrences of Flyby then ran the program again
@@larrylewandowski3830 Nice! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Why not just download the 24h2 ISO yourself from the Microsoft download site, and then click the "Mount and Run ISO" button on the flyby11 program?
You could do that, but I wanted to to show the whole FlyBy11 process.
Not workkng. 😢
Did you get an error message?
Trouble is, according to recent reports, microsoft will be implementing a watermark on unsupported PCs on which you install windows 11.
Yes, but there is a way to turn it off. I will make a video on the process in the future.
@@BeYourOwnNerd Oh Right. That would be very interesting.
I've already seen it. I forgot I had signed up for the MS Insider's Program. So when I upgraded using this method (upgrade worked flawlessly), Win11 eventually downloaded a preview version named [Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26120.2510 (ge_release upr) (repair version)]. Once it installed itself, a window popped up saying my hardware was not supported. It also had a button that said something like "Click Here to Fix." However, when I clicked on it, it brought me to the Windows Update setting w/ the same option to "Fix,," which opens the previously mentioned window. Seems like MS intends to prevent PCs with unsupported hardware from receiving future updates.
I used this video to reinstall Win11 again, but that stupid file downloaded itself again (not yet installed). This was after I unenrolled from the Insider's program too.
I paused updates for a week for now. I really hope you have a way to get around this.
@@racysheepWhen you say the file was downloaded again after reinstalling, do you mean the Windows Insider build was downloaded again even though you were unenrolled from the Insider program?
@@BeYourOwnNerd Yes. At least I thought so. I clicked on the link provided in Win Update to leave the program, and it appeared successful. I did this Before reinstalling 24H2 (keeping all settings/files etc). I thought that would be enough, but it still lists me as subscribed to the Dev Channel.
But after about an hour of searching and trying various things, it appears the only way to leave that damn program is to install a fresh version of Windows (w/o keeping anything).
And the file didn't actually download and install this time. I saw it pop up and was set to download so I paused updates for a week. Hoping for some good news soon ...
Still didn't work for me
What issue/error are you getting?
No go. Wish you would just do a new video with everything from start to finish. Here is the message I got. Error. We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities' & locations are banned from using this service etc. Now that I wrote this is appears it is downloading win 11 anyway. We shall see.
That error occurs when Microsoft temporarily blocks your IP address from accessing its download servers. It usually clears up in 6+ hours. Also, if you have a VPN, please turn it off. Microsoft does not allow downloading Windows ISO files with a VPN connection.
@@BeYourOwnNerd Thanks man. Even though I got the message it downloaded. I'm still debating whether to switch from win 10. What do you thing about 11? Willing to learn a new win but don't want to regret it.
@@pnew1537 You're welcome! There's no rush to upgrade to Windows 11 right away. You can stick with Windows 10 until support ends in October 2025. After that, you can upgrade to Windows 11 or pay Microsoft $30 for an extra year of Windows 10 security updates, extending support until October 2026.
As for Windows 11, I personally love it. I've had no issues with it at all. While some people claim to dislike it, I haven’t seen any solid reasons behind their complaints. So far, it’s been incredibly stable for me, gaming performance is excellent, and I’ve have it running smoothly on at least five different machines.
I am creating a new video that teaches anyone how to make Windows 11 look and behave like Windows 10. 🙂
Microsoft rolled it back, “because of unsafe boot”. This ends with Linux Mint!🤷♂️
I’d prefer to stick with Win10 and pay the $30.
You know that Microsoft allows full upgrade to Win 11 now? It was announced a few days ago. So no need to do this.
Not true. Microsoft reiterated in an official blog post on Dec. 3, 2024, that TPM is still and always will be required for Windows 11. www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24312928/microsoft-windows-11-older-hardware-tpm-support
