Windows 11 - Intel i7 6700HQ

Hello,

I just want to provide a feedback about the disappointment that my computer cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.
Actually, I cannot upgrade it to Window 11 purely because my CPU is Intel 7th gen i7 6700HQ 2.60 Ghz (not listed in processor list for W11)

My computer is running really well (Win10 professional 64 bits, Intel Core i7, 16Gb RAM, 1To SSD, 4K UHD ...) and there is really no strong reason for me to buy a new laptop to get Windows 11.

We are many people in this case and we would like to continue to use recent Microsoft OS on our computer.

Can you solve this problem ?

Thank you very much

Patrice

    Same issue here. I have a Dell Gamer 7559, with 16GB, GTX960M, SSD, M2 and i7-6700hq. It runs most apps and games fine!

    I really don't understand why I can't upgrade to 11. I see "new" laptops/notebooks with lower specs running 11.... it just doesn't make any sense...
    Also I don't want any workarounds... I just want to install it officially...

    Please MS! do your "magic thing" or whatever... and make it work...
