Performance and TPM chip aside, there’s no technical reason why anything that ran Windows 7 fine could’t run 11. At least well enough for a web browser, some emails and to occasionally print something.
The TPM cutoff is just an arbitrary way to limit the population to 2018-ish models and drop everything else to fend for themselves
with 4+ gb ram, even a c2d or og dual core athlon is usable ‘enough’ today for many tasks, including most needs of home users. sata ssd is inexpensive upgrade to counter the increased bloat that slows down hdd.
And yet you can take this “ancient piece of garbage” install some Linux distro and be amazed how well it still runs. It won’t become a gaming machine but 80% of people just need a web browser anyway (and that mean security patches).
15 years of f they brought their machine on release day
Win11 was released in 2021 (and you never want day 1 so wait at least 6months) so if you got your machine so you could have got a new win10 machine in 2022 so 8 years
