I've encountered a similar problem before, and it took me a long time to solve it. It sounds like your hardware meets the requirements of Windows 11, but the installation process is still stuck.

It can help you skip some of the detection steps of Windows 11 and make the installation process go smoothly.
You've already confirmed your processor is compatible with Windows 11, so we can skip this step. However, double-check your CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) to ensure it matches the requirements. And check your graphics card's specifications to see if it meets the Windows 11 requirements. If not, you might need to update or replace your graphics card.
