An Intel iMac should have Boot Camp, and can also run Parallels, so a native installation via Boot Camp or in a VM via Parallels is possible for Windows in general.
Windows 11 requires certain things (like a TPM 2.0 module) that Macs don't provide, so installing Windows 11 in Boot Camp is tricky and needs some specific workarounds. There may also be issues with various drivers that are a challenge to resolve.
Windows 11 in a Parallels VM should work fine, as Parallels can provide virtualized TPM chips.
I have no idea what you mean by affecting speed or wear, though - that question doesn't really make sense.
Do you mean install it using Bootcamp or Parallels?
Can I install Windows 11 Home on my iMac 27 Retina 5k without affecting speed or wear?
