Incorrect the job of the operating system is to make a common platform between computer hardware resources and common software so that a software developer will not have to code for every possible hardware variation. There is code that needs to be written for each and every cpu that the operating system will support in order to keep the system stable. The registers, and many other variances such as optimizing instructions for pipelines, etc. , are just the tip of the iceberg to show you the enormous complexity and testing and support that will not be paid for those using the intel i7 7700k and thus the reason that they have decided not to support the processor in the Windows 11 release. It doesn’t automatically work, but you can go right ahead and bypass this requirement but your system will not be stable, the functionality will be poor and you will not be able to go back.

Even something simple like having to answer 1000 phone calls on this matter will cost them 20000$ and they cannot support this release for everyone in this matter for a lifetime.
