windows 11 upgrade + hardware upgrade

Hi , so my current pc is not supported by windows 11, so im running windows 10 currently .

 

im currently looking to upgrade my pc to an 11th gen i5 and equivent motherboard.

 

how will this work in regards to keeping windows activated moving to windows 11 ,

 

am i best to try to use one of the workarounds for systems with no tpm or supported cpu ( i do have secure boot ) and then upgrade the hardware .

 

or should i switch my current ssd into the new hardware.

 

any thoughts or expereiences would be helpful as i really dont want to have to fork out another £100 ish for a new license
