Windows 11 needs an SSE4.2, which limits to Intel Nehalem and newer (2008+), although I don't know what revision Atoms are needed, and AMD Bulldozer and newer (2011+).

You'll most likely need to bypass the cpu model check, and the tpm check for an older machine, but otherwise should work. Windows 10 support's more hardware, of course. I forget where Linux cuts off now, I think it's somewhere between a 486 and a Pentium Pro/II. Although I'd expect you do need a 64-bit CPU to run modern software.
