I've had doubts about Microsoft's claims on this ever since I tried to reinstall a previously working Win7 on a "CPU built for a newer version of Windows".

It seems others have also had doubts are there are seveal articles on the Web outlining ways to install Win11 on older CPUs. I searched for "older cpu win11" and found several. Caveat: I haven't actually tried it myself. Yet.

Another method may be via a virtual manchine. VirtualBox purportedly supplies a virtusl TPM that may satisfy Win11. I know not if there's a significant performance hit.
