Look this is what happens when a software manufacture starts to producing computers. It also appears that this could be a legal issue that has not yet been addressed. MS is now attempting to increase computer sales by leveraging its position as the sole producer of a major operating system.
This will not be challenged by outer computer or processor manufactures as they will benefit form the stringent processor requirements. This is a monopolistic business behavior and I don't think that many will disagree. A free upgrade means nothing when it is not supported .
The argument that security is an issue is a joke seeing that all BIOS units are produced and programed in China at government controlled facilities. There is no good reason for why a Dell Alienware laptop that is 2 years old with a intel i7 7700HK can not upgrade to windows 11. I can make an agreement for a i7 6800HQ that is 4 years old but there is very little engineering difference between the 8000 series and the most of 7000 series intel processors.
Looks like Linux will be given a boost in the very near future, by by MS. Discus and support Risks of installing windows 11 on unsupported devices? In Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; So as far as I can tell Microsoft says don't install Win11 on unsupported devices because you will not receive updates?

However, the new Windows brings in a lot of hardware requirements and supports only certain processors. This could be a bummer for users having older yet powerful machines. Anyways, Windows is Windows after all, and it's possible to install it even on incompatible computers.
Here's how you can install the Windows 11 Insider Preview on an unsupported PC. A new tool that lets users bypass Windows 11 system requirements and install preview versions of the operating system on unsupported devices has surfaced online.

However, Microsoft does not recommend using its method – it can be dangerous. You need to close all the messages and then click the close button.
You have created a bootable Windows 11 USB flash drive for unsupported hardware using the Extended Windows 11 (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, 8GB + RAM) option. This option helps create a bootable flash drive that bypasses all the windows 11 system requirements or at least the TPM 2.0, secure boot and the limit of memory. I had barely gotten into the setup process when the installer announced, "This PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements." With no further details, that wasn't very helpful.
After several more false starts, I got the bright idea to use the PC Health Check app on an existing virtual machine. In their default configuration, my virtual machines don't support Secure Boot and don't have a Trusted Platform Module . I expect that older PCs upgraded using this workaround will continue to receive security updates alongside supported hardware for an indefinite period, but that's not guaranteed. Future feature updates might reinstate the compatibility check without allowing a bypass.
And that's how you can install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. These three methods aren't all of the possible ways to get Windows 11 installed, but they're probably the easiest . Of course, there's no guarantee that this tutorial will continue to apply to Windows 11 as new previews and the final version are released.

If you are not aware, Microsoft has criteria for PCs that are eligible to get Windows 11 upgrade.
Apart from the usual requirements like storage space, CPU, RAM, etc., they have made it mandatory for the systems to have TPM 2.0 support. TPM 2.0 provides an additional security layer for the PCs at the hardware level, and it is beneficial for the customers in the long term. However, the quick imposition of this change made it difficult for the PC and Mac owners to experience the goodness of Windows 11. Thankfully, Microsoft themselves has provided a solution for installing Windows 11 on incompatible systems; let's see more about it below. As per the tech giant, unsupported hardware may experience more Blue Screen of Death errors than devices that meet the requirements. Microsoft is promising a 99.8% crash-free experience for supported hardware, thanks to the new drivers and modern driver update management.
After all, there is absolutely no guarantee that upcoming updates will also appear on these unsupported devices. There are many different reasons why this is the case now. For starters, it could be a technical issue as Microsoft doesn't quite know how to exclude unwanted systems from automatic system updates. Many users have already installed Windows 11 on their computer for the first time. Some will have left their devices on overnight waiting for the operating system to install properly. Depending on the model and the power it takes more or less, but if you already have it installed it is quite an achievement.

So here's how to use Rufus extended Windows 11 feature to create a bootable Windows 11 USB flash drive to install the os on unsupported hardware. I took another run at the problem, choosing to create a virtual machine with custom settings. This let me choose UEFI firmware with Secure Boot, a good start. In the last step, customizing hardware, I tried to add a TPM.
The VMware screen explained, "The virtual machine must be encrypted and using UEFI firmware." I gave installation a try but encountered the same warning about not meeting the requirements. The company has made it clear users who put the OS on unsupported devices won't be entitled to updates but hasn't specified whether they will receive updates, regardless of entitlement. You can force the issue and install Windows 11 manually, using any of the means provided on the Windows 11 download site. You can even use this method to install Windows 11 on a PC that doesn't meet the requirements, although Microsoft warns this will leave your PC unsupported and potentially unable to receive updates.
This method is not prohibited, but it imposes some restrictions. Even though Windows 11 can work on most unsupported PC, this doesn't mean it will work perfectly.

Microsoft also doesn't recommend installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices, and there is no guarantee such devices will receive all future updates. OffInsiderEnroll script uses undocumented settings from the Windows Insider program.
It can enroll you in the Insider program's Dev channel on unsupported devices and work even with local accounts- you don't necessarily need to sign in with a Microsoft account. There are reportedly ways to install Windows 11 even if you don't have TPM 1.2 or UEFI. But this isreally unsupported—you're even more at risk of encountering bugs and not getting future security updates if you hack your way around even these base-level requirements.
