Fresh W11 install E7450.
Just tested installing W11 on this E7450 i5-5300U 8GB
Version: 10.0.22000
Build: 22000
Boot Sequence set to UEFI
Advanced Boot Options set to Disabled
SATA Operation set to AHCI
TPM set to Active with TPM Security and TPM ACPI Support checked.
Secure Boot set to Disabled.
Windows 11 loaded with no problems.
Most drivers installed.
Ran Windows update and also installed "Optional Updates"
All devices are loaded.
Took less than an hour.
Best regards,
U2

Disclaimer:
W11 media was downloaded on an 8GB SanDisk, from Microsoft’s official website.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
The media was in no way edited or modified from its original content.
I researched many articles to determine the proper BIOS settings.
The BIOS’s are original and have not been edited or modified.
With just the BIOS settings posted, the install was not halted and continued until it completed.
All W11 Updates and “Optional Updates” installed successfully.
All “Fresh” W11 installs automatically ACTIVATED with a Digital License.
On systems that Microsoft DOES NOT support, there is the chance that Microsoft will not support said laptops in the future and could roll the system back to W10.
I will continue to test others and keep up to date posts, if any changes arise.
Best regards,
U2

To further elaborate on @U2CAMEB4ME post. This post from the Windows 11 forum which spells out the conditions on which a manual install can be done. This is straight from MS and, in my opinion, only helps confuse the minimum requirements specs required for Windows 11.
However keep in mind that if Windows 11 is installed on a Dell non-compatible system then tech support will insist on Windows 10 being reinstalled before they can offer assistance.
I am not a Dell employee...I am forum volunteer
Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop

@JOcean thank you for your information and support.
I have submitted it to the Developers Program and so far I have only been directed to this.
I am still hoping for something a little more "Official" from Microsoft.
Only time will tell.

It is possible yes...
I wasn't accepting to lose this update with my PC, which is very good (I7) right now that I'm starting to forget about the Macbook. With a simple change in "registry editor" it is possible to enable your device to accept W11... this video is really cool and explains how to do it well, pay attention to what it says about "security updates".

On my notebook I needed to update the BIOS, then it requires more care.

Not very impressed.
Things are just rearranged and made to look like a MacBook.
