Why is the AMD Ryzen 3 2300U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx does not support Windows 11. It meets minimumrequirements. I had windows 11 on it and it worked perfectly, I had to downgrade back to windows 10 because windows 11 on unsupported device did not support security updates. It would be much appreciated if you can make the AMD Ryzen 3 2300U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx recieve the windows 11 update.

It is not recommended to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum requirements due to the risk of running into compatibility issues and won't be entitled to receive security updates.
The minimum system requirements for Windows 11 is at least 8th Gen processors for Intel and Zen 2 processors for AMD. This is to meet Microsoft principles about security and reliability. There has been no new announcement from Microsoft yet if they plan to add more processors to the list.

In addition to that, According to a Microsoft Executive, Even though these lower generations [of processors] also have Trusted Platform Module (TPM) encryption and secure boot capabilities, they are missing reliability and performance optimization. You can check the link below for more details.
