I had the same problem with an older processor. I used the registry edit workaround and it installed, but I noticed it ran a bit sluggish afterwards.

This. Just to be sure, have you double-checked that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are actually enabled in your BIOS?

Agreed. You could also check if your specific CPU model is on Microsoft's official Windows 11 supported processors list, as that's a hard requirement.

You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to make a fresh install USB, as it sometimes bypasses upgrade glitches. Let me know if that works.

Ah, right, the G4560 - that CPU isn't on Microsoft's supported list for Windows 11, which is likely the real blocker here.

I had the same problem with an older processor. The compatibility list is really strict, so you'll probably need to stick with Windows 10 for that PC.
