Either you buy a new system, or you install using the below method and hope that windows won't remove that sometime in the future.
Connect your windows license to an email first, that way on the new OS you will be sure that it will activate in case you don't have a serial.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The processor is soldered onto the motherboard, you're going to have to source a higher pedigree laptop or one that supports Windows 11 out of the box. There's practically nothing you can do with your current system to make it Windows 11 compatible. I would advise against workarounds as things can go sideways pretty fast and you'd very likely end up stranded on an island, if and when Windows 11 decides to croak as Microsoft changed a parameter to no longer work with work arounds.

Please stick to one thread, to avoid confusion, keeping thoughts on topic.

I would be very wary of trying to keep a licensed and activated install of W11 going on unsupported hardware unless MS decides to change their stance, officially. Windows 11 licenses are pretty expensive when purchasing a legit key.

You can find 8th gen laptops for a really nice deal used these days. They are the lowest generation that supports W11 officially. Probably could buy a new to you used machine for not much more than the OS attached to it. Make sure what you are looking at specifies coming with OS license as I have noted more and more systems stating "no drive no OS" in the less expensive offerings.

My recommend would be to go to Newegg and search through their refurbished office PC section. Be watchful for 3rd party sales that they have exceptionally high reviews. Better if you can find shipped direct from Newegg but even on that be certain of the return and warranty period.

Least expensive?
Keep using windows 10.

Why do you need windows 11 anyway?
