Hi, I have an i7-7700K. This CPU have TPM 2.0, It's compatible with Secure Boot, it have 4 core up to 4.2 GHz. It also is 64bit. I don't know why this CPU is not supported by Microsoft to install W...
1. There is no proof of that.
2. That's not true. Microsoft has made it very clear that some development builds, (especially in the Dev channel), may have some features that are being tested in control groups or among all Insiders, and may not necessarily be added to the official release builds.
3. You're arguing about something that isn't an issue yet, and isn't relevant to this topic. That is an issue that applies to anyone and everyone who doesn't meet Microsoft's strict requirements. This topic is only about a CPU that should be supported when it is not.
4. Microsoft has explicitly allowed unsupported systems involved in Windows 10 Insider Preview channels to continue to Windows 11 Insider Preview channels as a thank you for their support of Windows. With no explicit statement from Microsoft about this issue, there's a pretty good chance that it is only meant for Insider Preview builds to remind these users of the concerns Microsoft has about their systems moving forward.

But readers considering upgrading officially-unsupported systems should be aware that Microsoft may (in my view, likely will) roll out this "feature" to their machines, even if they are not on the Insider tracks. After all, Microsoft has said from the beginning that unsupported systems may not continue to receive security updates, and so a warning appearing on the desktop could be a good first step towards alerting users to that.
