Had enough trouble tring to get WINME to work with dual core processor.

Seems to me what you want to do is a classic case for attempting to install TINY11 (as that should by-pass MSes WIN11 system requirements such as TPM 2). Listed TINY11 advantages are :
  • Run on 2 GB or less RAM.
  • Only take up 8 GB disk space.
  • No need for TMP 2.0 and Secure Boot.
  • Create a local account for login.
  • Not asking for Microsoft account during installation.
  • Delete less frequently used apps and drivers (pre-install).

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
