I didn't even know that you can't put Win10 on Zen5. Wtf!?

IIRC it's an APU thing, and last I heard it was just a rumor (could be out of date). Either way, non-LTSC is EOL in a year and a half. If you're putting in a Zen 5 CPU, the best choice is realistically either Linux or Windows 11 Pro, since Pro can turn off all the bullshit through group policy. My Windows machine I have to have is on 11 Pro and it's basically Windows 10 with a slightly different taskbar. No Copilot bullshit, no ads, no Bing in Windows Search. If you're ok your taskbar on the bottom of the screen, IMO it's the best choice as long as you have to use Windows.

You probably can, but it doesn't look like it will be officially supported:
