Although being allowed by MS to run Win 11 is a bad indicator of it being compatible. I've run Win 11 on some old machines that didn't meet the compatibility but it ran well. I've also used some dirt cheap new Win 11 devices with barely a CPU and 4gb RAM that should not be running that but is officially supported by Win 11.
