Inspiron 3542, not compatible with Windows 11

I read about Windows 11 and its giving free upgrade to Windows 10 users. That was the good news for all existing Window users. But on their website they give list of compatible hardware and configurations. While checking that details I found that there is 4th Generation Intel Core i5-4210U processor (3M Cache, up to 2.7 GHz) in my system and Microsoft says that this system is not compatible for Windows 11. What will the solution be for this issue? Or do I need to change my laptop, which is in still in excellent working condition, since last 6-7 years. And in this pandemic situation its impossible to spend the money for the new system.
