As a best Windows 11 upgrade tool, this tool should work perfectly for your situation, and importantly, the search results mention FlyOOBE as the current, updated solution specifically for 2025-2026. The developer has released version 2.3 with improved performance.

How to Use The Best Windows 11 Upgrade Tool

1. Download two files:

Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft's official website.

FlyOOBE from its GitHub releases page (builtbybel/FlyOOBE).

2. Run FlyOOBE as Administrator and select the "Upgrade to Windows 11" option.

3. Point the tool to the Windows 11 ISO (drag-and-drop or browse to the file).

4. The upgrade will begin, bypassing all hardware restrictions automatically. The process takes 20-60 minutes.

5. After the upgrade completes, FlyOOBE will offer customization options where you can remove bloatware and adjust privacy settings.

Your 8GB of RAM is the minimum for a decent experience. The search results suggest that after cleanup, Windows 11 uses about 2.2GB of RAM, leaving you with roughly 5.8GB for apps. This should be manageable for basic tasks, but you may want to consider adding more RAM if you run heavy applications simultaneously.
