Windows 11.
Hi Microsoft! I have CPU INTEL i9-9920X and CPU INTEL i9-9940X in my two desktops. Why my CPU are not considered available for windows 11? Thank you.

The reason these processors don't support as they stopped supporting 7th gen processors developed over 5 years ago. 7th gen isn't able to support as the core to threads count aren't to most standard C/T count from 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th gen Intel processors.
But said, that some Intel 7th Gen PCs "May Support" Win11 like the "Intel’s “Kaby Lake” 7th-gen chips from 2016 and AMD’s Ryzen 1000 processors from mid-2017." but its not set in stone.
All I can say is, if this list of the CPUs are not in the support sheet for win11, it not supported.
