Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22449 on a Kaby Lake CPU

Question

Hello, I have a VM running Win11 on a i7-7700k CPU, and I'm confused. Today there was the mentioned build upgrade available, although I've read articles about MS booting out people with 7th Gen Intel and Zen 1 (or older) out of the insider program for W11, stating that these CPUs also won't be getting the upgrade from W10 at launch, and only would be able to install it from an ISO, and even that possibly without getting any windows updates in the future.

Now I'm confused. Is my CPU supported or not?

Thanks

Windows10 - will definitely run on 7th generation and older processors by October 2025 !

this is not helping, I know I'm good with 10 till 2025, but this is about 11.

okay, so why am I still in the dev channel and getting insider builds, if I'm not supported?
