I've successfully installed Windows 11 on older systems before. My first experience was with a specific setup: an AMD Phenom II x4 B40 processor at 3.5GHz, 4GB DDR3 memory, an AMD Radeon HD7470 graphics card with 2GB RAM, and a WD Blue 250GB hard drive. It performed adequately, though the limited RAM and slow HDD were drawbacks. I've also tested it on an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 at 2.8GHz with 3GB DDR2 memory, paired with another PC's GPU and SSD. For these older machines, having at least 6-8GB RAM and using an SSD would have improved performance. On your machine, Windows 11 should work, but its speed will depend on the hardware. You may need to skip certain security checks during installation, especially if your motherboard lacks SecureBoot support (which both my main PC and HTPC lack). A quick online search suggests your CPU likely falls between the two I mentioned, so it should handle basic tasks like web browsing. However, Windows Update could still impact performance once updates begin.
