Apparently you can officially just shut off the restriction that forces Windows 11 to only run on new CPUs and the newest TPM by just setting a registry key AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU on install.¹ But I never use Windows and don't plan to start anytime soon, so it's not something that I will try.
