Today, sure.
2005 was a different story, one the opposite of this one.
While Vista didn't have high specified requirements, it gobbled resources so updating from XP to Vista you'd have a noticable slowdown.
Win11 is the opposite of that story. While modern PC models (as in 5-year-old when Win11 first came out) can run Win11 fine, Microsoft forces requirements which aren't needed.
Sure, while having a better TPM and newer processor is a good thing, making anything other than that ewaste (because windows runs 90+% of consumer PCs, with Apple being the majority of the 10%) definitely isn't.
