Before performing this procedure, you should backup (and especially clone/image) your main Windows hard drive in case something happens during the upgrade process!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: 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:

You also need to check for SSE4.2 support, as the recently released Windows 11 24H2 only supports processors with that instruction set.
To check if your processor is SSE4.2 compliant, you can do the following:
Download and Install CPU-Z: Go to the official CPU-Z website: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Run CPU-Z: Open CPU-Z after installation.
Check Instructions: Go to the "Instructions" section under the "CPU" tab.
Look for "SSE4.2" in the list of supported instructions. If it’s listed, your processor supports SSE4.2.
