The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
There is an https://www.tomsguide.com/news/windows-11s-system-requirements-can-be-bypassed-with-this-official-microsoft-workaround to make the system ignore the processor version check during upgrade installations. This means that the only question we (the i7-7700k community) should be worrying about is whether ongoing windows updates (for security and so forth) are going to be blocked in some fashion. Anyone know?
That way, we could side-step all this self-justifying nonsense from MS and get on with life (we all know that W11 works perfectly fine with our i7-7700Ks).

SimonRowell you may install Windows 11 if you want but it would be somewhat analogous with installing an internet online available ripped version of Hackintosh on your pc and expect that it will be stable. If you don't care about losing your files and your computer can work any old way, it's a joke, with no expectation, then go right ahead. If you require a secure, stable, reliable and truly functional system then you cannot install it.
- Indeed. The correct answer is not to rely on anything but Microsoft adding the Core i7-7700k processor to the list of supported processors. Full Support or Full Explanation. Silence is not the strategy that understands that this current approach moves collective thoughts to Microsoft's past ways. The best past forward is to acknowledge that the processor works just fine and will be added so everyone put into this situation can move on without being told we must spend thousands of dollars to keep current when our current PCs are more than fine.
It sounds good so you want Microsoft to pay for the extra coders and support staff? Maybe a solution for Microsoft would be to lease Windows 11 like they do with Office but people might not like that either… for example, my Windows Professional cost me 350$ which is going for another 5 years so a total of 10 years, it’s around 35$ per year supported and as long as you want after that but no updates or support… so if instead of selling the unit they could sell it as a subscription, professional with support say 3-5$Cad a month ( canadian dollars with incentive ie. 5 dollars is more expensive but you don’t have to lay down the whole amount at once) , without support (analogous to oem version), 1.5-3$cad , regular version not professional with support -1-2$cad, without support (oem analogous) 50 cents to 1 dollar… Microsoft is a bit of a stickler for money, it’s hard to believe 1 dollar is so important to them but the richer you are the more you seem to be urgent over a dollar, and it’s even a dollar of opportunity that is often times important…
