Use Rufus it'll disable hardware requirements, without hassle. You will need an iso. If you know someone with 11 have them download it. Otherwise download the generic.

It also lets you skip the first time install dialogue by setting defaults and add a local-only account. Rufus is the way to go about installing windows.

Had to scroll way too far down through windows gripes to find this, the real answer. Windows 11 will run just fine on your machine, OP. Just use Rufus and a USB stick to do the upgrade.

totally agree, but it is a bit ridiculous that this workaround is required.

But it will break on updates. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC doesn't have those requirements

...but then you have to use Windows 11...

Or a Windows 10 installation that won't get security updates. I don't know which is worse.
