Windows 11 Incompatible with i7 Processor

I have a gaming laptop with i7-7700HQ processor, 4 cores, 8GB ram etc. However, my PC isn't compatible (a lot i7 cores are compatible, for some reason, this one is not)

Should I install windows 11 using the other methods that were discussed online? It just seems like downloading an OS when it is not officially supported by your processor would be a bad idea. I remember reading somewhere that windows might not even roll out updates for users who have installed windows 11 in any other way.

Also, is windows working on releasing a build that would work on this processor?

Please help. I desperately want to download Windows 11, but don't want to make any rash decisions.
