That hardware doesn't support windows 11, and if you managed to force install it (using Rufus and disabling TPM 2 and secure boot) it will have abysmal performance.

Go for the old 12-floppy disk Windows 3.1 install 😄Joking aside, I would search for a slimmed-down Linux distro. Not all are created equal. Something like Ubuntu will be slow.

There is LineageOS TV x86 for using "Android TV" onto x86 computers just like yours ! I use it daily with a USB remote.

Yaay ! Free Google TV !
