But you seem the miss the obvious point: you can probably use any of today's CPU with any other previous version of Windows. If it supports x86 or x64, you CPU will handle it.
They have no reason to not do the same with Windows 11. No OS will do something like that besides them.

Microsoft has decided not to support i7 7700k. They could but decided not to. It is an economic decision, yes.

This video talks about how someone had a power pc and it wasn’t supported by Freebsd so they gave him commit access to make it work. If one of us wanted to be a free warrior and just make the code for windows 11 work for free and convince them we are interested in doing it for the long run then they will support windows 11 or like a major business etc.. wanting to dedicate funds for a programming team… but it doesn’t look like it will happen… https://youtu.be/Ib7tFvw34DM
Enjoy the video… plus windows is not open source and although their code is leaked illegally by programmers they don’t allow random commits by strangers that Freebsd will allow (obviously with some scrutiny) , Linux has a hierarchy so they will not allow strangers to even suggest they need to work their way up the pyramid…

This thread has a response that sort of explains the Linus hierarchy that finishes with Linus being the boss… not many would like it if Bill Gates or Steve Jobs were the ultimate boss necessarily so hard to imagine why you would want that any better with Linus even if he just earns a measly 10 million US dollars per year that could essentially buy him any processor he wants while he lives in his little 2 bedroom apartment for his entire family in Finland so he admits yes he is taken advantage of , not living with Bill Gates style 100s of billions of us$ but in his words he is still quite ok… still a multi millionaire …
