I tried to upgrade to windows 11 but it said my pc cant run it as i dont have TPM 2 and a processor that is not compatible. Is it cheaper just to get a new PC or to get compatible hardware then purchase windows 11?
Can i add hardware so i can upgrade to windows 11?

What OS are you running at the moment. You can upgrade (not an upgrade in my opinion but MS says you have to) on older machines if you are able to use programs like Rufus. There is a myriad of information on YouTube. I "upgraded a 20 year old laptop yesterday so it can be done. but if you use the method described on the Microsoft website it will not work. get Rufus, https://rufus.ie/en/ and download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft, and go from there.
I’d bite the bullet and buy a complete new computer - obviously if your funds permit
Depends what you use it for. But if just for home use (emails, browsing etc) then you can't go wrong with "renewed" ones on Amazon. They have Dell optiplex, 8GB RAM, Win11 installed, intelcore i5, for under £100. You get 3rd party Amazon backup (check the small print but I assume 30 days warranty). Less hassle and probably cheaper than buying your own internals, given that you might need more than just a screwdriver

Absolutely no need to buy new or to add components, just do what I have suggested it isn't difficult and will save you a lot of money.

I am not sure i am away from the house at the moment. I spent hours trying to enable it bug no where to be found. Its an asus pc around 10 years old if thats any help?
Maybe you can find out more info here:
Forget it.
While it may be possible to shoehorn Win11 into such a thing, there is nothing to be gained from doing so.
If you want the latest version of Windows, buy a new computer.
