BTW, is it worth replacing the CPU (and Motherboard) to meet the Win 11 hardware requirements or just simply think about a computer replacement? My desktop is a ASUS ROG GR8 II and its only issue is the CPU which is Core I7-7700 @ 3.6ghz

That's a 7th gen CPU - the minimum for W11 (with a few exceptions) is generally 8th gen.
