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:

For me, the official Windows registry modification is the best free and safe to fix the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11. However, you need to have some knowledge of the command line interface to make it work.
Step 1. Press Win + R to open the Run window, type "regedit" and press Enter to enter the registry editor.
Step 2. Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
If the MoSetup folder doesn't exist, right-click on Setup → New → Item, and name it as MoSetup.
Step 3. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Right-click on the right side of the MoSetup folder, and click on the blank area. New → DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it:
AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
Double-click it, change the "Value Data" to 1, and click OK.
Step 4. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer
Step 5. Go Microsoft's website and download "Windows 11 Installation Assistant", run it and follow the instructions to upgrade directly.
By adding a new registry entry, you can fix or bypass the the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11 even this PC doesn't meet Windows 11 system requirements.
Same here. After making the registry change, Win11 installation assistant still displays 'PC doesn't meet requirements' exactly as before!
