Popular Windows 11 requirements skip app now allows upgrading with unsupported CPUs

There are several tools that can help you update an incompatible Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 without wiping and clean-installing everything. Flyoobe is a handy utility for skipping Windows 11's hardware requirements and optimizing the user experience, and with the latest update, it became even better.

Before version 1.41, Flyoobe allowed upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 only on devices with supported processors. Now, however, you can skip the processor check by deleting the cpuchecknative.dll file from the app folder.

The ability to skip CPU checks is the biggest change in release 1.41. However, there are several other changes and fixes, including redesigns for several dialogs, fixes for the built-in debloater, and more. Here is the complete changelog:

• Previously, the upgrade process (Flyby11) only worked on CPUs that passed the compatibility check. You can now delete CpuCheckNative.dll from the app folder to skip the CPU check - proceed at your own risk. The CPU check is always performed by FlyOOBE during the upgrade, but there are cases where skipping it is also supported.
• The update check has been completely redesigned and moved to GitHub Pages. This setup will also allow us to offer helpful guides and additional documentation there in the future
• Fixed an issue where the Installer OOBE Page didn’t properly update the progress bar during app installation
• Fixed a bug where the Apps OOBE Page (Debloater) didn’t correctly reflect progress while uninstalling apps
• Several input dialog windows have been redesigned and improved-
• Updated Bloatware and installer signatures
• Minor fixes and improvements

The maker of Flyoobe also wants to hear from its audience on what kind of user interface they prefer. There is a poll where you can cast your vote on the design direction for the app and influence its future look.

You can download the latest Flyoobe release from its GitHub repository.
