Ryzen AMD 7, 2700U not supported on windows 11

Like many, I was pissed to find that windows 10 is only supported up until 2025. My laptop passes all the requirements except for the processor. While supporting secure boot, TPM and my system storage is 128GB when the minimum requirement is 64GB, and my system memory is 8GB and the min requirement is 4GB. And i have 4 core processors. My computer was purchased about 3 years ago and cost around £800 It is an Envy X 360 Convertible 15-CP0, Ryzen AMD 7, 2700U with Radeon vaga mobile GFX 2.20 GHz. On the list of supposedly supported. it says it would support supports intel i5-7200U processors. I have a Ryzen AMD 7, 2700U processor.. Intel Core i5-7200U is based on the older "Kaby Lake" microarchitecture, while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U is based on the newer "Zen" microarchitecture. The Zen microarchitecture is generally considered to be more efficient and performant than the Kaby Lake microarchitecture. The Intel Core i5-7200U has a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a boost clock speed of 3.1 GHz, while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U has a base clock speed of 2.2 GHz and a boost clock speed of 3.8 GHz. my processor is compatible, but yet they wont allow it to be!

While windows 10 is still supported for the next 2 years, i am unlikely to be purchasing a new computer and even after then.The cheek of them expecting that. Its just another money grab from them. When i have a perfectly okay computer that i would not dump after only 3 years of having it. So then what? we all get new computers, to have them upgrade to another version of Windows later on, which our current systems don't support an upgrade with. The choice then for some of us to either trash our computers, as we won't really be able to sell them when you can't update to windows 11 unless you do so with windows 11 ISO or buy a new computer. Its disgusting and sad..

    Here is a link on upgrading to Windows 11 without the required hardware. Plus, they are still adding computers to being able to download Windows 11.

    The only thing is some features may not work.
