I have started running this in our environment as a baseline/CI in Configuration Manager. Systems with the following processors are showing as not capable because of the processor, but per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processorsthese processors are supported:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10500T CPU @ 2.30GHz

Processor: {AddressWidth=64; MaxClockSpeed=792; NumberOfLogicalCores=12; Manufacturer=GenuineIntel; Caption=Intel64 Family 6 Model 165 Stepping 3; }. FAIL

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9500T CPU @ 2.20GHz

Processor: {AddressWidth=64; MaxClockSpeed=792; NumberOfLogicalCores=6; Manufacturer=GenuineIntel; Caption=Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 10; }. FAIL
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz

Processor: {AddressWidth=64; MaxClockSpeed=2904; NumberOfLogicalCores=8; Manufacturer=GenuineIntel; Caption=Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 9; PlatformId 32}. FAIL

I have other systems with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10500T CPU @ 2.30GHz that report as capable:

Processor: {AddressWidth=64; MaxClockSpeed=2304; NumberOfLogicalCores=12; Manufacturer=GenuineIntel; Caption=Intel64 Family 6 Model 165 Stepping 3; }. PASS

 

Seems to revolve around the max clock speed but they are the same model processor in the same model of desktop computer.
