yowattaApparently Microsoft had a mistake where they let this processor get W11 over just 1-2 days and you must have hit that period. It is closed down again and this processor isn't allowed W11. I don't know what they will do about you already having installed it - if they will support that in the future. However, if they do support your use of it, it would make sense for them to open it up to all users with that processor.

I’ve checked the Update History of my PC and confirmed;

  1. W11 version 22H2 was successfully installed on 6/8/22
  2. 2022-06 x64 base system W11 Ver 22H2  Quality cumm-update KB5014688 was successfully installed on 6/16/22
  3. All other updates (driver/definition/other) have been installed as well

So, it seems MS has kept my PC updating. I've double checked that i7-7700k is the cpu of my PC.
