There is nothing you can do to make your notebook's hardware meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements, unless you replace the system board with one that comes with one of the AMD Ryzen 3xxx processors.

It would be cheaper to sell or trade in your notebook and buy one that fully meets the W11 hardware requirements.
If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2/22H3.
You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.
