Not at this time. But a machine that is upgradeable to W-11 would be 8th generation HP or Dell or Lenovo, etc or newer. with TPM 2.0 already up and running in the system.

I'm guinea pigging W-11 on this Home setup. i8-8700 Dell Precision tower. streaming 8 cams from an Amcrest XVR, to BI....Not quite the real IP-CAM acid test. but it's doing it ok at this time.
It think it acts a little different than a clean install of W-11.
This image had been a W-7 Optiplex 7020, upgraded to W10 in 2015, then migrated to a 9020 Opti, and now its been imaged to a 3630 Precision, and then taken the upgrade path to W11.
THIS IS NOT Recommended for running a cam system. But my Opti 9020 SSD was flaking out, and I jumped ship before she quit working.
I have folders floating around in here that go back to windows Vista LOL.

But like I mentioned, if you can get a great deal on an older one, go for it.

Many members here have 4th gen with over 30 cameras running sub 20% CPU. No big deal if Win11 can't be installed. Still better off with unsupported Win10 than an NVR that is never updated and a huge security risk.

None at all. Swapped the mobo, plugged everything in and booted right off the old system, i7-6700K, on the M2 drive. It took a little longer on the initial boot, had to install new drivers for the CPU and board, but it went very smoothly.
