No, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U is not officially supported for Windows 11 by Microsoft.

Microsoft has a list of specific processor generations that are compatible with Windows 11. The Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U belongs to the 6th generation (Broadwell) which is not on this list. Processors starting from 8th generation (Coffee Lake) and onwards are supported.
