What CPU does your Dell 5400 AIO have?
10th Generation Coffee Lake (Core i3-10___, Core i5-10___, Core i7-10___, Core i9-10___) )is fully supported, later ones not so much.

That's called an hackintosh, and technically possible if you have the right hardware.
Check out https://www.tonymacx86.com/ as that is a site dedicated to that sort of thing.
Spec sheet says either 12th Gen. Intel or Pentium Gold. Hopefully you have a 12th.
A quick search at tonymac for "12th" yields quite a few threads.

It is more recommended to install macOS as a virtual machine on Windows 11 if you are not a tech savvy. The process is much more complicated and time consuming to install macOS on a Windows 11 machine natively. Make sure back up the important files on the PC before proceeding.
