Microsoft accidentally turned off hardware requirements for Windows 11

I'm confused

I installed Win 11 on an old Lenovo Thinkcentre, purchased new in 2017 and it runs fine.

The secret is to download an iso and boot from a USB drive.

Any time I try to do anything useful it prompts me to log into my Microsoft account, which I don't want to do, but the actual OS does work.
