No need to worry about this too much as there are a couple of ways to fix this issue. In fact, you can still install windows 11 on very old CPU. Here is the trick that worked for me recently:

This error simply means the CPU is unsupported by Windows 11 and you have to apply some trick to bypass Windows 11 system checks. You can do this with Veentoy, an open source and very powerful tool! The method is actually very simple to fix "The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11" issue:
- Insert a USB flash drive, the memory needs to be at least 8GB
- In Veentoy, select the USB disk and click "Install", please note that the USB disk will be formatted.
- After the installation is complete, the USB flash drive will be created.
- Download the Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft's website.
- Copy Windows 11 ISO file to USB flash drive directly (no need to unzip it, just drag it over).
- Reboot your computer, enter BIOS, and select USB flash drive to boot.
- Veentoy will display a list of ISO files, select Windows 11 ISO and press Enter.
- Enter the Windows 11 installation interface and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
This is a very simple method to fix the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11. You can do this for Windows 11 22H2, 23H2 and the latest 24H2. Pls don't download Windows 11 ISO from untrusted source.

I tried so many things, and this was the only one that worked. I had an issue with bios security boot settings but that was a simple fix. Thanks so much it was a great help.
