You can follow this guide to install windows 11 on any PC even it is not supported. I have done it a couple of times on my office PCs and no problem with it.

Installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware is technically possible, but there are risks, including potential system instability.
Using a tool like Rufus to create a modified ISO for Windows 11 installation, which can bypass some of the hardware limitations Microsoft has placed on its latest operating system, such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements. This method involves manipulating the installation media to override these checks, allowing Windows 11 to be installed on older or unsupported hardware, but it is complex and prone to problems!
