I read an article that MS has backed off almost entirely on Win 11's requirements. Now it's a checkbox, "Your hardware isn't supported so you accept responsibility if you have problems."
As long as it's newer than Pentium 4, you are probably fine.
Win 11 now only needs popcnt (a newer instruction added 15 years ago) and sse4.2.
I think my limiting factor is TPM 2.0 which I believe isn't supported by the device but is required by windows 11
You can modify the Windows 11 iso to bypass the requirements. You can tick a checkbox in Rufus when creating the install media to have it do it for you.
Well after looking further it's actually the processor isn't supported in general so Linux it is! It's going to be a hard sell to my partner who doesn't like using office 365 on the browser because "it screws up templates". If even Microsoft's tools screw up I can't imagine libre office would do any better so that's an even harder sell... Sigh.
