I would like to inspect that claim. let's dump the specs. Then check.

 
Note the writer’s comment on Microsoft’s minimum required specs:
 
    In reality, those specs won’t get you a great Windows 11
    experience; you’d need a better CPU, more RAM, and more storage to
    even start using Windows 11 in a productive manner. You’d need
    something like an Intel 9th Gen CPU-based system and 16GB of RAM,
    along with 512GB of fast storage as a comfortable minimum.
 
Does that machine meet those specs? Nope.
 

The point is, the machine is on the list, and no monkey business
is required to get the machine on Windows 11. The Health Check will pass.
You could do that upgrade from Windows Update and not even need a DVD.
