Hello, I am using a translator for this message.

I am in the same situation with my i7-7700k I find it unbelievable that I can't upgrade to windows 11

I have a super powerful computer, but microsoft is forcing me to change hardware, I will not change hardware I will continue on windows 10, I hope they change their mind and allow this processor.
