If you do a Tom's search on this subject you will find the good and bad and how to's to make a decision if you can and should with your current hardware and Windows 11.

You might see if flashing the BIOS to the latest version helps since it's said that there's improved TPM;

but the CPU is not supported, and Windows 11 will be a decade old at the end of this year.

You should stick, to Windows 10 or build something with concurrent parts for Windows 11 or go forward with a new build after Windows 12 is released.

Not a good idea to move on without supported hardware:

Installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet Windows 11 minimum system requirements isn't recommended. If Windows 11 is installed on ineligible hardware, your device won't receive support from Microsoft, and you should be comfortable assuming the risk of running into compatibility issues.


Devices that don't meet these system requirements might malfunction due to compatibility or other issues. Additionally, these devices aren't guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates.


The following disclaimer applies when attempting to install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements:
