What are the advantages of installing windows 11 did you ever consider that?

looks better

Microsoft won't send you updates, so you're left with a system that gets progressively insecure and are left with any other bugs that would've been fixed.

If you want something that "looks better" and is supported on your hardware, Zorin OS.

If your system doesn't meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11 then the installer (at present anyway) won't allow you to install it. Problem solved.

If you like the appearance of the old windows 7, then install a free app called "windows classic shell"

The scheduler function of windows 11 will be most applicable to the new 12th gen intel processors with big/little cores.

I would delay windows 11 as long as I can; new operating versions are bound to have glitches.

I built a new Intel i5 11400 machine and did clean install of W11 just fine. Cloned the hard drive. Stuck the hard drive in my old W10 Intel machine that did not meet any of the install requirements - cpu did not pass, TPM did not pass etc. Booted without even a second thought. Runs great.

You lucked out on 2 counts:

1. Running it on an unsupported system. Was this the actual release version or a Dev/Beta version?
2. Cloning and having it run on completely different hardware. That often fails, no matter what Windows OS you're working with.
