1. Backup!
2. Download the zip from the CODE button in the link above
3. extract it somewhere
4. run MediaCreationTool.bat
or to automate the initial upgrade process...
rename MediaCreationTool.bat as auto 11 MediaCreationTool.bat
then run it and sit back and watch it do its thing...

The tool is probably fine.
The question is - if you're installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, will there be a point in the future when Microsoft releases an update that is incompatible with whatever changes were made to do an unofficial installation, and leave the system unbootable, or similar?
Just be aware of that possibility. Not saying it will happen - but I imagine it's plausible.

That's 100% true; I actually had it happen on an incompatible workshop PC.
Windows 11 worked fine for roughly 5 months, but after one (security) update, it wouldn't boot anymore, and I couldn't roll back. Wiped the drive put W11 back, again same update caused the same problem.
Wiped drive ran W10 again, few months later tried W11 again, this time no problem, been working fine for over a year now.
