Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) - TPM 2.0 is a microcontroller that stores keys, passwords, and digital certificates. A discrete TPM 2.0 also supports Intel® vPro™ Technology and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT).
IntelPTT is a platform functionality for credential storage and key management used by Windows8* and Windows® 10. IntelPTT supports BitLocker* for hard drive encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0.
WIN8.0 machines from 2012 on with Haswell 4th gen Intel processor can support 10 and 11 because
1. Onboard Intel Graphics can do dIrectx 12.
2. Intel PTT can be used for the TPM 2.0 requirement.
3. OEM 10 media works fine for the majority of the hardware and doesn't require a Key to install it just works. Once these DVDs are gone however they will never be seen again so I suggest buying one NOW.
Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
Display:
High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel 1280 X 720 MONITOR
Internet connection and Microsoft accounts:
Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft account to complete device setup on first use.
Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity. Learn more about S mode here.
For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.
What Dell model computers have a TPM / Intel PTT? Latitude 13, All E Series, XT2, XT2 XFR, XT3,
Latitude 13, Latitude 10 OptiPlex - All systems from the 60 series and beyond (560, 760, 960) Precision Mobile - All systems from the X400 series and beyond (M2400, M4400, M6400)
Precision WorkStation - All systems from the X500 series and beyond (T3500, T5500, T7500)
XPS and Alienware – Ultrabooks and currently shipping models
Vostro – All systems from X20 series and beyond (1220, 1320, 1520, 1720)
Venue - All Some Latitude, XPS, and Inspiron systems ship with the Intel PTT
TPM 2.0 can be satisfied by Hardware or Software.
You do not need BOTH Intel PTT BIOS firmware or TPM 2.0 Discrete hardware.
You can have one or the other but not both at the same time both HARDWARE TPM and BIOS PTT cannot be enabled at the same time.
Tap the F2 key when the Dell logo appears to enter the BIOS
Expand the "Security" section, click "PTT Security", and select Intel Platform Trust Technology
NOTE: If PTT is greyed out as well, re-enable PTT by disabling Intel Trusted Execution under Virtualization Support.
Windows 10 for example works fine on Optiplex 3020 7020 9020 also Optiplex XE2.
It has windows 8 secure boot and INTEL PTT TPM 2.0
Intel HD, HD 4200/4400/4600/5000/5100/5200/5300/5500 graphics drivers
The Intel HD Graphics 4600 (GT2) is a processor graphics card included in some of the Haswell processors 4th Gen and later.
The HD Graphics 4600 integrated graphics solution by Intel. Built on the 22 nm process, and based on the Haswell GT2 graphics processor, the device supports DirectX 12
3rd Gen Ivy Brige GT2 is an issue due to DirectX 11, Shader 5.0
Intel PTT is a platform functionality for credential storage and key management used by Windows 8 and Windows® 10. Intel PTT supports BitLocker for hard drive encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0.
One of the takeaways is UEFI GPT is required and 64 Bit os is Required. Legacy CSM and MBR are not allowed for Windows 11.
So secure boot and PTT as TPM and 64 Bit WHQL goes back to WIN8 in 2012. Intel. Haswell GT2 supports DirectX 12
Windows 10 2004 compatible devices include Dell XPS Compatible Dell brands and models include Alienware, Inspiron, XPS, and Vostro desktops and notebooks. For any device to appear in the list, Dell must have tested it for Windows 10 2004 support.
Despite what @speedstep has implied, the XPS 8700 does not have any BIOS settings related to PTT (or TPM). His/Her information is based on reading the manual, which is incorrect. I have an XPS 8700 with the most current BIOS, and the settings on the security page of the BIOS described in the manual simply are not there. It's possible these settings once existed on a pre-release or early BIOS, but not now.

@Mary G why do you think it won't work?
XPS 8500 is a problem because its 3rd gen
https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-8700_reference%20guide_en-us.pdf
XPS 8700 can DO WIN8/10/11 because its a UEFI CLASS 2.3.1 windows 8 machine. Same hardware as Inspiron 3847,Optiplex 3020 7020 9020,
https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-8700_reference%20guide_en-us.pdf
It has Intel PTT in bios for TPM 2.0 You need 1 not both. So TPM 2.0 hardware or INTEL PTT BIOS functionality with Haswell 4th gen CPU or newer.
LATEST A14 bios may be needed before installing 11.
