I updated an older Lenovo computer with 16GB of RAM but a slow processor to a system called Tiny 11, a stripped down version of windows 11. I have experience no slower performance or issues with it. It runs as good or even better than it did before.

I did it on a OLD Laptop.

it worked, but the laptop was so slow to do anything I reversed it back to 10.

I mean boot up would take like 10 minutes.

Click on the icon to open a browser? Sure go ahead click on it and then go and 
make some coffee. it might be ready when you get back.

Here is an incredible YouTube video that shows you step by step how to upgrade 
your existing Windows 10 computer to Windows 11. This is even if your existing 
computer fails the Microsoft upgrade qualification test.

I just discovered this video yesterday. I have not had time to try this on any 
of my five Windows 10 computers/laptops that I manage. I'll be charting new 
territory soon, but this does look promising.

Maybe some of you have already discovered this "work-around" and can comment on 
your experience.
