There are specific system requirements that Win 11 requires, otherwise it will not let you install and run Win 11.
TPM 2.0 is the main one. Another key one is you *must* have a Microsoft account to be able to authenticate the key. I run Win 10 Pro on my CF-31 without a MS account as I do not want MS having access to a trail of data about my system.

MS is attempting to close all loopholes that might allow installing/running Win 11 on unsupported hardware.
I'll be using Win 10 well past the use-by date I think and probably look to switch to Linux. I still have an older system that runs Win XP and it stopped getting support in 2014.
