SQL Server not supported Windows 11 Home Version

I bought a new computer that came with Windows 11 Home. I am unable to install SQL Server 22 on W11. I would like to install Windows 10 that does support SQL server but I will void my support warrant...
SQL Server 2022 Series
Windows 11 Home

The Omnibook 5 can be delivered with a Snapdragon CPU (ARM architecture).
If you've got the Snapdragon CPU, your computer can not run SQL Server.

 

If your model uses x64 architecture (Intel or AMD), you should be able to install SQL Server without any particular issue.

I have experienced that installing Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) before installing SQL Server has led to installation failures.
If you've installed SSMS, please uninstall it and all SQL features before attempting to install SQL Server again.
You can uninstall these features from the "installed applications" page of the settings application.
Open Settings, go to Apps on the left hand menu, then installed apps. Search for SQL and uninstall everything.

Omnibook 5 comes with Intel core i5 13th Gen. I reset the OS multiple times and tried but got same result. I have pasted the contents of the errorlog file. Can you please have a look and suggest a way out.

Do let me know if I can provide any other details to help you identify the root cause.
