Same boat here... Can't believe my top of the line machine able to run anything I throw at it will not be able to user windows 11... Well, I guess I'll save some money.

I think your all missing the point; they list the i7-7700k as COMPATIBLE on their own list of suitable chips.
If this was a business decision and shrewd marketing like everyone is suggesting, someone messed up.

The bigger question is why Microsoft is not addressing this with facts. At this point the only reason that seems to be apparent is a business decision. It would be best for Microsoft to hear its community and add support for the Core i7-7700k and let us all move on. Learn from the Past, Be Transparent, Do the Right Thing or explain your decision in detail.

It is unlikely Microsoft is willing to address this anytime soon, until the next release of Win11 undergoes large scale hardware compatibility test (if it will).
