Short answer is NO way. Microsoft won't allow us to install Windows 11 on UN-supported hardware, including your old machine.
Regards.

If you are running W10 on your notebook, and 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.
W11 Pro 23H2 64 bit works just fine on my even older than your 2540p notebook, the HP 6910p notebook.
