The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?

Drokuh We are in the same boat. PC's with Asus z270-I Motherboard, Core i7-7700K, 32GB RAM, GTX 1080, 1TB NVME, TPM On Secure Boot On, driving 2 32" Dell monitors and 4k webcam. The only thing they complain about is the CPU not meeting requirements. While it would seem unlikely for Microsoft to monitor customer and tester feedback regarding this ridiculous restriction on a 4 year old computer that works beautifully and actually understand the perspective of customers, how about giving us equivalent value (rebate) on a new computer  or simply do what's right and add the Core i7-7700k to be supported. Learn from your own history when you work against the interest of customers, I thought that this "strategy" had been mothballed years ago, given the toll on the company and the loss of focus on mobile it created. Just admit that there are some outliers that should be included, add them back to be supported on Windows 11 and let us all move on, please.
