Windows 10: Will Microsoft make a version of Windows 11 for older computers?

I have an older laptop that was bricked for several years and recently got it up and running. It has a touch screen and is good quality. I would like to update it to Windows 11, but the CPU is too old. I'd like to keep it secure and running as long as I can, as it is my art computer. I know the current Windows 11 can't run on it, but I'd like to know if a lighter version for older devices will be coming out.

Swapping to an older version of windows

Is there still an official way to drop back to an older version of windows, I honestly don't mind using a 3rd party way. If possible, can you list step by step instructions or a link to an easy to use website. Thanks.

 

Microsoft DirectX 11 Details Emerge

Microsoft has released a handful of details about DirectX 11, the latest version of the company's API.

• Full support (including all DX11 hardware features) on Windows Vista as well as future versions of Windows
• Compatibility with DirectX 10 and 10.1 hardware, as well as support for new DirectX 11 hardware
• New compute shader technology that lays the groundwork for the GPU to be used for more than just 3D graphics, so that developers can take advantage of the graphics card as a parallel processor
• Multi-threaded resource handling that will allow games to better take advantage of multi-core machines
• Support for tessellation, which blurs the line between super high quality pre-rendered scenes and scenes rendered in real-time, allowing game developers to refine models to be smoother and more attractive when seen up close

Microsoft considers free versions of Windows Phone and Windows RT to battle Android

Looks like the easy to get Android may just be in a bit of trouble if Microsoft indeed does this.
