Many people (like me) rely on the Control Panel on a regular basis, so why kill it?
I have a shortcut icon for it on my desktop display so I can access it more quickly.
Besides that registry edit allowing a computer to bypass TPM and Secure Boot and RAM requirements, it also allows a computer that has a processor older than 8th generation to be able to install Windows 11 Build 22000.

Same here.
Driver version 30.0.14.7122 installed fine for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card in my Dell Precision Tower 3620 which is running Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Build 2200.51 64-bit.
Do a clean install of the driver so it removes the previous install before it re-installs it.
I created a bootable disc earlier today with an ISO file for Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Build 22000.51 64-bit.
The pictorial guide and registry hack HERE worked fine in my Dell Precision Tower 3620.
It has a 6th generation Intel processor and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, its BIOS has TPM 2.0, and...
I obtained the Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview 22000.51 64-bit 4.12 GB-size ISO yesterday and created a bootable install disc.
The setup process started fine, but then it displayed a message which said Windows 11 cannot run in my Dell Precision 3620.
Because it has a 6th generation Intel Core...
We can discuss TPM 2.0, UEFI, Secure Boot, etc. until the birds come to roost.
But if the computer's CPU is older than 8th generation, it's doubtful that Windows 11 will install.
You didn't say which motherboard and processor your PC currently has.
Before you buy and install a new processor, make sure the motherboard supports that processor and that a BIOS update isn't needed first.

The HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor was released more than 10 years ago, so what was said in post #6 probably explains why you were able to install that developer version of Windows 11.
