Answer 1

Is it Windows 11 Professional or Enterprise edition? If so, it should be possible.

Here's a guide for joining new devices: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/azuread-joined-devices-frx

You go to Settings - Accounts and set up/connect a work account.

I found this reference for adding to an existing device: https://geekshangout.com/windows-11-joining-to-azure-ad/

You will have to join this Windows device to Azure AD. By doing this device will get Azure AD joined in user context.
Post this user will be able to login to Azure AD joined device using his/her credentials.

You can use below article for steps to do Azure AD join on Windows devices,
