But, you will imminently find that Microsoft adds a watermark to the lower right corner of your screen to advise that you are running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

That watermark is an Insider Preview build. It is not present on the standard release builds. You need to exit the Insider Preview program to get rid of that. It says nothing about your system being unsupported. The only location that will is under certain sections of Windows Update.
Unless you're on the Insider releases, you won't have seen the watermark yet. It's previewing in the Insider builds right now, but it will then roll out to the regular releases and appear on all machines that don't meet the minimum specification set by Microsoft.

- "Microsoft had been testing these changes last month, but they’re now rolling out to Release Preview just ahead of a full release to all Windows 11 users in the coming days. While Microsoft doesn’t mention the addition of a watermark in its “improvements” list for this update, testers have noticed it’s included."
Insider Preview. This has not happened on the release versions yet.- Yes, just as I said. BUut it will come to the release versions, because that's the whole point of testing things in the Insider builds.
