Overview

  • Flyoobe 1.0 final release lets users skip TPM, Secure Boot and CPU checks, customize Windows 11 setup and access Microsoft’s free one-year ESU menu option.
  • UpDownTool offers a one-click downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10 LTSC 2021, preserving data and settings and unlocking security updates through January 13, 2032.
  • ESU activation via Flyoobe depends on Microsoft’s phased rollout and requires a Microsoft account, enabled backup settings and syncing to OneDrive.
  • Lawrence Klein’s lawsuit in Southern California seeks to compel Microsoft to continue free Windows 10 security updates until the user share drops below 10%.
  • German data show over 56% of PCs still run Windows 10, driving reliance on community bypass and downgrade utilities as hardware requirements tighten.
