There's at least one dude managing to run Win11 on his Dell with Xeon :

That Dell poster's Xeon isn't on the supported CPU list either:

Worth a try if you have:

"at least TPM1.2"

...if not, you might be able to buy a module if your board has a header? Install on a spare HD.

tyan s7010 cant see any header for one

Have a good root around the BIOS - might have TPM some version already?

Server gear, so might already have some version of TPM.

so 50 50 if the cpus show up or not then

I can't see why you'd want Win11, mind you I can't see why anyone would want Win10, but if you have a spare HD... enable TPM in BIOS and have a go? Or bypass?
