Hello Everyone,
I did the windows 11 upgrade on my Huawei Matebook D 14 - with Ryzen 5 2500U. I did this by replacing the appraissers.dll file in the Windows 11 setup and running it from my licensed windows 10 machine to upgrade. (This dll bypasses the requirement of specific CPU) Entire process took around 2-2.5 hours. Earlier one was windows 10 home and upgrade is now windows 11 home. My files and applications were unaffected.
After upgrading to windows 11, I am able to receive the updates by microsoft without any issues.
My laptop heats up once in a while that was happening with windows 10 also, So I have no complaints at all. Windows 11 is faster and smoother than windows 10.
Good luck. Happy to answer any questions.

You may also use the Rufus to do a clean install or in place upgrade to 11, with the extended support without the requirements.

Accident or no accident,
you could upgrade to 11 RTM/Beta/Dev on unsupported PCs via Windows Update - since before release!
Two set-it-and-forget-it scripts facilitating it:
Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd v9
save as .cmd / .ps1 and run or simply copy-paste in a powershell window!
OfflineInsiderEnroll.cmd v2.6.3
save as .cmd and run as admin, then pick RP / Beta / Dev channel
