Sure, you can install a Win11 on a legacy computer but it will be unsupported, because the bios is unsupported. It won't work efficiently. Legacy computers tend to also have legacy audio, legacy chipsets, you'll probably want to replace the fans and re-gunk and reseat the heat sink, and you'll be dealing with legacy graphics cards that no longer are supported and can no longer update the drivers. Unless of course the graphics are integrated. Anyone with a 10-year-old computer would be better off just buying a new computer. None of those 10-year-old components are designed to deal with the functionality of Windows 11, which is why Microsoft says these older machines can't be updated with Windows 11.
Technically they can. But no one who expects their computer to actually work efficiently without having to swap out every component and card under the hood would want to.
