If I understood correctly, you joined Windows Insider program and your system shows your device is not compatible with the Windows 11 but you are being offered to download the Windows 11, is that correct?
You may download and run the PC Health Check app and see what is the status of your device?
You may download it from:

    Windows 11 Insider ignore certain requirements so more people would be able to join the program and test it. I believe for the Windows Insider they are not enforcing all requirement (since it is for testing) but we have to see if other community members would have the same experience or not.

    However, for the official build of Windows 11 (not insider) your device won't work like you said.

      my CPU has all the requirements except the "UEFI Secure Boot" and I think that's the problem it just misses just 1 thing.

        Now I understand, and can you downgrade the channel to RP?

        If you continue to have problems, a clean installation of Windows may be the solution.

        Or performing a workaround that is not recommended by Microsoft.
